best exaple - if each of objects have realy complex textures - with many 
layers, and some layers use material maps, or color maps 

color_map {
  [0.0 colEye]
  [0.1 colEye]
  [0.11 colSkin]
  [0.5 colSkin]
  [1.0 colBlood]
}

// -----------

color_map {
  [0.0 color rgbft colEye]
  [0.1 color rgbft colEye]
  [0.11 color rgbft colSkin]
  [0.5 color rgbft colSkin]
  [1.0 color rgbft colBlood]
}
