Maya, Redshift
Used Object IDs and shader switches to toggle between pool floatie materials
MASH to scatter beach items (shells, rocks, stars, grass) and slight hue variation with user data id
Lots of shader layering! - e.g., ocean water and ocean "foam", towel with graphic and seams, even the margarita glass with salted rim....
