That's basically what I'm doing.

I mentioned two solutions, A) and B). Only A) was about not using the mesh
block.
B) was about the number of textures, although I didn't directly say that the
memory was the problem.

How much memory do textures consume (not a very simple texture, but an
average complicated one)? Would it be a lot if say 3000 unique textures were
needed? (3000 triangles in a mesh is not even very much, is it?)

I don't think that's possible.
