Hello there! I’m trying to get Live Link Face to work with a Paragon character in UE 5.6. Is there a tutorial anywhere, or can someone point me in the right direction, for getting this to work? I can’t seem to find anything online. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ---

Unfortunately, Paragon characters do not appear to include ARKit-compatible blendshapes by default. You’ll need to create them yourself first, then set up the mapping in Unreal. ---

What Sunny says is right. You got to export the character to another Content Creation app and make the 52 blend shapes needed for it to work with arkit then reimport it to unreal engine. For a fee I’ll do it for you. PM me in interested.
