Hi, i downloaded the UE5.6 convai plugin and added the convai body animation BP to the new metahuman rigs and it causes the body to do this, is anyone else encountering this issue [Screenshot 2025-06-18 190533] *Also the lipsync is not working either

Thanks for sharing the details. Please try the following steps to resolve the body animation issue: Download this file → File Inside the file, locate the Metahumans folder. Drag and drop this folder into: Plugins/Convai/Content If prompted with a message asking whether to replace existin…

Just a thought, did you try re-creating in 5.5 and migrating your world across, and using the online metahuman creator? It might work. Havnt tried it yet but i assume the issue is with 5.6. Might be a possible work around for your college final.

Thanks for your advice! Yeah, I also think this issue is related to version 5.6. Over the past few hours, I’ve tried many ways to fix it. Interestingly, after clicking the reload button (or performing some other action), the character suddenly reloaded and everything worked fine in version 5.6. H…

I have the same problem. Changing the level doesn’t fix it. Waiting on the upgrade for this to be usable as a product.

Mine did the same, oddly. Saving with the body animation set. Closing and re opening the project fixed it for me.

Unfo, mine remains unusable after reopening it. I am using the new 5.6 Metahumans, if that makes a difference.

Hi, we are also encountering the exact same issue with the body animation being incorrect on the new metahuman rig and the above fixes seem to not have resolved the issue, This one did resolve the face sync though. We are on the latest plugin version released 3 days ago.

Seems to be working great now, Thank you.

Hi, so i have updated to ue 5.6.1 and the Metahuman hips now seem to be growing and shrinking when going from idle to talk states [image] talk state [image] idle state It seems the idle has be retargetted correctly but the talk one has not been, Does anyone have some insight into this? Thank you …

Hi, is anyone else encountering this issue as we are still having it after fully building multiple fresh projects to test. Thank you,
