Change Control Notes - "And this is why I needed people to test it for me! :)"

[+] Version 1.3.1.

FIXED: Shoulder deformations so it works in both local and world (arm follow (on/off)) modes. Shoulder deformations would previously work when rotating the arm, but wouldn't compensate when rotating the body. (old bug, sorry. Took me a good while to figure out how to fix it)

[+] Version 1.3.

CREATED: A new (even lower poly) proxy mesh for the rig (_PROXY 0/1 property) to improve viewport playback

FIXED: Loss of ability to independently tweak head rotation when using the "head track" property

FIXED: UVing issues on fingers

ADDED: Anchor points on the hands (shared between Ik and FK) where you can parent / pin objects

[+] Version 1.2.5.

ALTERED: Scene Collections to make it even cleaner to link into larger projects

FIXED: Improved neck bend

[+] Version 1.2.4.

ALTERED: Scene Collections to aid Linking into larger projects

[+] Version 1.2.3.

FIXED: Render issues. Rendering of the animation masks was enabled on the objects. This has been disabled to resolve the rendering issue.

[+] Version 1.2.2.

FIXED: IK / FK Blending issue. Blend was fine, but blending bones seem to have become detached from one another (though still parented). Fixed so the leg and arm forms are maintained during blending.

[+] Version 1.2.1.

FIXED: Additional issue with Head tracking - specifically. These issues were due to the mixture of world and local space constraints and the layering of custom properties. (such as follow/track/FK).

[+] Version 1.2.

FIXED: Shoulder armor deformation. Previously did not deform properly when in IK mode

FIXED: Head tracking. Previously the head tracking broke when rotating the root control.

FIXED: Head Follow. Head isolation (aka following toggle) was only effective when rotating the chest and not when rotating the entire torso.

FIXED: Rig_UI cleaned up a bit. Flipped left and right.

[+] Version 1.1.
