Quest Compatibility

There are a couple limitations to the avatar's quest compatibility: The outline and hue shift don't work on quest, since they rely in shader related features unavailable in quest shaders.

There's a workaround for the dress mode in quest, using a second material instead of changing UVs (an exception to using a single texture for the whole avatar, for the sake of quest compatibility).

Other than those things, there is a quest version included, and the avatar can be used as a fallback!

Note that since most of the customization is done with blenshapes, some combinations could result in clipping or straight up cursed results, that's expected and part of the fun!

Icons for the submenues were rendered with a modified version of BlenderToPixels. The shader used is Poiyomi 8. Everything else was made from scratch without external assets using Unity and Blender.
