Install The Plugin

  1. Install Pose Overlay through Fab, or place the PoseOverlay plugin folder in your project’s Plugins directory.
  2. Open the project and go to Edit > Plugins.
  3. Search for Pose Overlay and enable it.
  4. Restart Unreal Editor when prompted.
  5. If you are using a source distribution, compile the project for the target engine version.

Verify The Installation
