Implement per-object-colours about speckleviewer HOT 3 CLOSED

That strategy seems fine. Can we also expand from just colors to materials? Something like:

properties.spkMaterial = {
  type: diffuse, specular, etc.
  color: rgba OR map
  specular: float OR map
  bump  = map
  etc. }

Obviously we don't want to send a bunch of material maps back and forth for each object / layer. Maybe theres a SpeckleMaterial that is referenced by objects/layers instead? Thoughts?

Hm... If any texture info is just a pointer to a resource we can request async, i'm happy. I would not store such things in the db though.

I do believe both would be good, ie can have just a simple colour, or if really keen, a sweet material.

So I would say yes to a SpeckleMaterial of sorts (maybe we'll get inspired by gltf), but one with textures only for version 2.0 (as that's when we're going to add a s3-compat layer, where we can store blobs efficiently), and for 1.0 colour (simple) and material (no textures). Does that make any sense?
