Einfaches mesh2:                                                     Erweiterte Optionen:
//Syntax: --------------------
// obligatory order:
//  Vectors,
//  Lists,
//  Indices
// --------------------

mesh2{
  vertex_vectors
  { number_of_vertices,
    vertex_00,
    vertex_01,
      //...
    vertex_nn
  }
// optional normal_vectors ->
// optional uv_vectors  ->
// optional texture lists ->

  face_indices
  { number_of_faces,
    <index_1, index_2, index_3>,
 // here optional with texture list:
 //[,texture_index
 //[,texture_index2,texture_index3]]
    <index_4, index_5, index_7>,
      // ...
    <index_p, index_q, index_r>
  } // ------------------
} //-------------------------

       
// Option für smooth surface:
  normal_vectors
  { number_of_normal_vectors,
    <normal_vector_00>,
    <normal_vector_01>,
    // ...
    <normal_vector_nn>
  }
// ---------
// Option für uv_mapped texture:
  uv_vectors
  { number_of_uv_vectors,
    <uv_vector_00>,
    <uv_vector_01>,
    // ...
    <uv_vector_nn>
  } //------------------------------
 // Lists --------------------------
 // optional texture lists:
  texture_list
  { number_of_textures,
    texture { Texture0 },
    texture { Texture1 },// ...
  }// ---------
// optional indices:
  normal_indices
  { number_of_faces,
    <index_1, index_2, index_3>,
    <index_4, index_5, index_7>,
      // ...
    <index_p, index_q, index_r>
  } // ------------------
// optional for uv_mapped texture:
  uv_indices
  { number_of_faces,
    <index_1, index_2, index_3>,
    <index_4, index_5, index_6>,
      // ...
    <index_p, index_q, index_r>
      }
 // optional for well-behaved meshes
 //(completely closed)
 // making solid mesh:
    inside_vector <direction>
