No good reason, except that I didn't understand the concept fully.  :-)
I'll look into some of the terms you mentioned.  I have had success
editing the pixels of the image associated with a texture, but that
requires me to edit the pixels in some buffer and load them all back into
the texture, as I said.  The idea of keeping copies of the textures around
and simply redirecting the trimesh's reference from one texture to
another seems ideal, I just need to look into how that's done.

Thanks for the tip.
