the reason for that was the texture_list property of mesh2, but I think I'm going to split it into texture and material defs so both can be used.
edit, made some changes to the generator it now renders this 'out of the box' (which I'm very happy with).
Code:
#macro ldrawTexPlastic(r, g, b, a)
pigment {
#if (a<1.0)
srgbt <r,g,b,0.9>
#else
srgb <r,g,b>
#end
}
normal {
bumps 0.005
scale 0.5
turbulence 0
}
finish {
emission rgb colorEmission
diffuse 1
brilliance 1
conserve_energy
phong 0.5
phong_size 40
metallic 0
reflection {
rgb <0.08, 0.08, 0.08>
falloff 1
exponent 1
metallic 0
}
}
#end
#macro ldrawTexRubber(r, g, b, a)
pigment {
srgb <r,g,b>
}
normal {

scale 0.25
turbulence 0
}
finish {

diffuse 1
brilliance 0.1

#end
#macro ldrawTexChrome(r, g, b, a)
pigment {

The contents of ldrawTex* macros are read from a config file so you could always tweak them, I'll probably also going to surround most stuff with 'if defined' conditions.
Transparent part improvements (using material) still pending though.
