For inner lights I've populated spheres with 4 differend Vraylight materials along spline to simulate led lights.


Rooftiles were done with simple cloning of few types of tiles and then randomising them with ObjectRandomizer2.0

I've used AdvancedPainter to make cream between rooftiles (Spagetti tool) and peanuts on the basement (Randomizer) :

I've used ZBrush to create cream for surrounding "ground".

Coconut and chokolate flakes were done with Multiscatter.
