[Verse-dev] Materal selection

[Peter Lunden]

My spontaneous thought is that the per face representation should have 
priority over per object. Per object is a more simple representation and 
can then be used by simple clients while the more complex per face 
representation can be used by more powerful clients. It can also be used 
as a kind of LOD, very distant object uses per object materials.
