=== 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.
