Bug Fixes

• When using Head Tracker and Plane with Unlit material and texture, the rendered result of the plane may have zoomed in automatically. This has been fixed.
• When adding a 3D Face to a scene, the Material slot of the Mesh Renderer was hidden. This has been fixed.
• Preview did not update automatically when setting the render order. This has been fixed.
• A crash would occur when using Depth stencil or Color depth stencil. This has been fixed.

Known Issues

• When Bokeh Blur‘s Shape is set to Circle, you must set the Iteration to 4 or higher to see the effect.
• When the opacity of Face Mask and Eye Color is set to 0, the meshRenderer will be automatically disabled to optimize performance. To change the opacity, manually enable meshRenderer.
