When you create the face_indices, you specify 3 textures (which are
specified in the texture_list), 1 corresponding to each vertex:

mesh2{
  vertex_vectors{
    n,
    V1,V2,V3,...,Vn
  }
  texture_list{
    m,
    T1,T2,T3,...,Tm
  }
  face_indices{
    f,
    VV1, TV1,TV2,TV3, //<---3 textures per face (from texture_list)
    VV2, TV1,TV2,TV3,
    VV3, TV1,TV2,TV3,
    ...,
    VVf ,TV1,TV2,TV3
  }
}
