Abstract
A request is received to assign a first graphical asset and a second graphical asset associated with a three-dimensional (3D) geometry of a simulated character of a video game to the same physical location on the 3D geometry. A graphical conflict between the first graphical asset and the second graphical asset is detected, where the graphical conflict indicates that at least a portion of the first graphical asset and at least a portion of the second graphical asset graphically overlap at the same physical location on the 3D geometry. Attributes of the first and second graphical assets at the same physical location on the 3D geometry are compared. One of the first graphical asset or the second graphical asset is then provided for display at the physical location on the 3D geometry.
