Hello

I’ll try to make this short and to the point.

I have a 3D VR model I would like to turn into an animoji (so only the face). It has already been rigged by the person I paid to create it, and I know it because I have been using it as a VR avatar with Vsee Face without any tracking issue.

I imported it into DeepAR studio as an FBX and everything went smooth (assigning material and textures). But now that I have my model it just won’t move and I don’t really know why since it is already rigged. I have tried it with full body as well but it just stays stuck (although it does follow my body movement).

What did I miss and how can I get it fixed? I would really appreciate some help.  
Thank you and have a great day;

---
