Re: render tree mixer/texture limit
Could it be a limitation of the renderer, or is it really the render tree or translator? What are you rendering with? Mental Ray?

Re: render tree mixer/texture limit
To get around the node limit, did you ever consider the FXTree? Each texture in the scene is represented by a clip in the FXTree's Clips menu with an input and output. This allows you to apply image FX (paint, composite, layer, transform, crop, filter, ...) to each texture without increasing the size of the render tree.

Re: render tree mixer/texture limit
I believe mental ray has a limit of 64 textures per triangle, not per object. However, since XSI only allows one material per triangle (not to be confused with material shader), the limit is effectively 64 textures per material. That is described in the mental ray manual in the early sections, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now. I wouldn't be surprised if other renderers have the same limit as it's a common choice. A good test would be to apply a default material to the object (without textures). Next, create two polygon clusters and apply unique materials to each cluster, each with 64 textures. None of the textures used by the first cluster material should be used any the second cluster material, and vice versa. If it renders successfully, it means the texture limit is per triangle (per material). If it fails, it means there's likely a bug in the XSI to mental ray translator and you should file a bug report to supp...@softimage.com.

RE: render tree mixer/texture limit
I did some tests and it seems to me that there is a limitation regarding the maximum amount of texture sets per object which is 64 apparently. More than 64 image clips per objects seemed to be ok as well as a lot of mix8color nodes (I had ten of them and 72 image clips on that object). As soon as I hit the 65th texture set, it rendered incorrectly. Not sure if there is a workaround except splitting it in several objects. Sven Heres the scene if someone likes to play with it. <https://u9432639.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=lIXdN6W56FnEjHCwrBXqOq0HQNpV0huvAGw1zu6Xp8eVQuk2cNZiNFjx2k-2FfTNcheFfpiVb5gBjGpm0Nj5Q4I7hVw843xtQ23aUjuGbpkshpjEl1Iv1pzPIKHGeZG2cGS22RrZ8fhB1hSVxngOZkoXIDmqnFloIDPbbt6Xfob594kax1Qmc4htJMRDcofypRLdQ7P69yWQMkrlu5xpyX5Xds4MiCMi5dVPd3AHEBubeU1ghVdUybKMfU9MxJqv9ZeaLwmEbepwwW5cq-2FytX-2BSBMISCsXLEcyjkOKUeyBmo4AGecVmbcIjuxAEAopszKnvVWn8RGsZXvsWqpQmNyrDwnPBhKiabKQ0wqXU4rMlxhO0ZSWY4DDRpXfmCANlkTGxz5TQTAVE7MFDFXHAcnarZxBXzqls2l4p-2FG6LtJouqM-3D_a6oQc7tnfcb0GKvoO27fPkrQ0ATQyF1SDBXJOg7-2FbuQumCj8OZwlT-2FF1neYPjuah3gCDOQ3DTT-2B4pWDfEkPkGYzcNo4LR4-2BsvK0k6hmr9eKHjVfa4ofXJfQIYaEcHkPj-2Bft1gj8NH0IAZDqE5QrYdYQa3CGSIHRlWA-2BkjesFQo6uAve0PusmZjQaANtRwdtukDWJ7NgTpccurd3wYDGu-2BQvQOloOKuwTFXpOyhSPPkE-3D > https://u9432639.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=lIXdN6W56FnEjHCwrBXqOq0HQNpV0huvAGw1zu6Xp8eVQuk2cNZiNFjx2k-2FfTNcheFfpiVb5gBjGpm0Nj5Q4I7hVw843xtQ23aUjuGbpkshpjEl1Iv1pzPIKHGeZG2cGS22RrZ8fhB1hSVxngOZkoXIDmqnFloIDPbbt6Xfob594kax1Qmc4htJMRDcofypRLdQ7P69yWQMkrlu5xpyX5Xds4MiCMi5dVPd3AHEBubeU1ghVdUybKMfU9MxJqv9ZeaLwmEbepwwW5cq-2FytX-2BSBMISCsXLEcyjkOKUeyBmo4AGecVmbcIjuxAEAopszKnvVWn8RGsZXvsWqpQmNyrDwnPBhKiabKQ0wqXU4rMlxhO0ZSWY4DDRpXfmCANlkTGxz5TQTAVE7MFDFXHAcnarZxBXzqls2l4p-2FG6LtJouqM-3D_a6oQc7tnfcb0GKvoO27fPkrQ0ATQyF1SDBXJOg7-2FbuQumCj8OZwlT-2FF1neYPjuah3gCDOQ3DTT-2B4pWDfEkPkGYKI3tGO2jlBcSHprqZWItgESNTF-2FQAjd2tgqIkpWKp2PqCRmrvp8DCZdpSsyFzzBd2A79rfK-2FBcTIMAVGHLKrv0ehopJoHj5hbx9YYrNOH1JVLKLTwbRRTcB3sHqdxydVcIkawHyyvcY2O0BS2E4KI-3D From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Kris Rivel Sent: Friday, August 30, 2019 5:19 AM To: Softimage List Subject: render tree mixer/texture limit Hey all...been ages but still here!

render tree mixer/texture limit
Hey all...been ages but still here!

I have about 65+ texture nodes plugged into a stack of mixers and all was working fantastic but I noticed some are missing and only show up in render if I unplug a few.
