I don't see a reason for an object rendered using tesselation to have a 
different texture. I'm assuming tesselation is done as an object option 
though, not as generating a new object.

The actual texture. Vertex coloring would require a high-resolution mesh 
just for proper texturing, but that won't work for some objects (for 
example, a box can be tesselated with just 12 triangles, and a plane 
with 2, and a triangle with 1).
