Effective resource allocation in film production One of the most important aspects of resource allocation in film production is scheduling. A well-crafted schedule can help to ensure that resources are used efficiently and that production stays on track.

Or maybe I didn’t get your way of the solution. Please kindly explain to me again. I was thinking about; I would need something like “drawing a part of an image on another image or canvas”.

thank you so much for your response! I am still very new to this and have only had experience writing shaders in Unity before… I’m not 100% sure I’m following your instructions correctly… should I be using #ifdef or #ifdefined ? for the VERSION >= should I be specifying what version of openGL to use? or what version of the engine I’m using? Or should I type it out exactly like you did?

Now, I roughly got the idea of you what you were saying. Since it’s for a drawing board app / coloring app, whenever the user changes the coloring tool (not solid colors, they will be images) we will have to create a new node with mask? As in the video above, when the user selects Gold texture and paints somewhere, then we create a new node with gold then, when the user selects Black Leather texture, we create a new node then, when the user switches back to Gold, we can’t reuse the previous node
