C# Render Target Example (Using Mugshot Sign)

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

I created a quick example in C# to demonstrate how render targets work. I learned a lot of this from [How To] Using render targets by @throwarray and I highly suggest you check out his post.

This was a quick script that I threw together just to demonstrate how to use render targets with the Mugshot sign that your player holds when creating a character in GTA Online.
