=== How to connect Body and head(Metahuman) ===
Due to the different connection methods of various motion capture devices, we are only providing a general connection approach here. Specific details may vary in different projects.

==== Connect Body and Head by Postporcess blueprint ====
Since the new plugin utilizes a different blueprint, we need to first connect the body with the head, and then replace the blueprint of the head with the one from the plugin.

* Open your original head BP asset, and then find the face post porcess blueprint.

[[File:UE connect body step1.png|center|frameless|1920x1920px]]

* Open the AnimGraph of your post process blueprint. And add those nodes.
** Create a 'Copy Pose From Mesh' Node and check the 'Use Attached Parent' box
** Add a 'Layered blend per bone' Node and do following changes
*** Config -> layer setup->branch filters
** Add a Bone name to the Index : FACIAL_C_FacialRoot

[[File:UE connect body step2.png|center|frameless|1371x1371px]]
[[File:UE connect body step3.png|center|frameless|1112x1112px]]

* Compile the post process buleprint
* Go back to Metahuman actor and then change the face anim blueprint.

[[File:UE connect body step4.png|center|frameless|875x875px]]

* Run the scene and check the result
