- Improved MToon TransparentWithZWrite rendering when transparent layers overlap
Version 1.13.25c:
- Reduced the incidence of ghost hands that appear due to Leap Motion false positives by filtering them out

Version 1.13.25b:
- Fixed avatar height based scaling of tracking space for Leap Motion tracking with chest and head positions
Version 1.13.25:
- Added a new avatar selection UI made by Deat
