I had used some custom face animations for the emotions but I noticed the ABP changed. The logic behind it was deprecated and updated. Now, how would I add custom animations for the emotions in the Blueprint?

Hello <@563096950887677952> ,

If you want to use a custom animation, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Convai_MetaHuman_FaceAnim and go to the Emotions_Anim layer, which can be found in the Anim Graph.
  2. Inside, you’ll find Blend Poses by Bool, which is used to blend animations when the character is talking or idle.
  3. You’ll see that the Sequence Evaluator is used in all the emotion animations, such as Joy, Surprise, Sadness, etc.
  4. You just need to replace those with your custom animations.

I am also attaching a screenshot for your reference.
