Short summary
[FIX] Convai Metahuman Broken Animation
What happened?
The Fix:
Before you start hacking away at the skeleton, you likely just need to force the engine to initialize the plugin asset.
Navigate to the plugin directory (make sure “Show Engine Content” and “Show Plugin Content” are enabled in your Content Drawer settings):
Engine/Plugins/Convai > MetaHumans > Animations > Motion
Open the animation sequence.
Locate Retarget Source Asset and click Update.
Keep the Convai animation Blueprint/asset open and wait for Unreal Engine to completely finish loading and initializing it.
Close and restart your Unreal Editor project.
After restarting, the Convai body animation should work correctly without the deformation.
