I'm working on a project involving between 512 and 1024 planes in a jit.gl.multiple. The problem is that every plane needs an unique texture. The manual says that the maximum listlength for texture is 256. Is there anyway to get around this limitation? I've tried using two multiples, but I can't seem to get them to work in tandem.

more-than-256-textures-in-multiple

to my knowledge, jit.gl.multiple incidences have to share the same 

on the other hand, you might be able to use a large texture and show 

different parts of it from texcoord manipulation.

Yes jit.gl.multiple is limited to 256 textures. This can be augmented

in the future, but for now, I might suggest using jit.gl.mesh since

you're rendering planes. You can use texcoord offsets and one large

texture (or several with jit.gl.multiple/mesh or multiple meshes) to

Hi Adam,
Yes jit.gl.multiple is limited to 256 textures.  This can be augmented
in the future, but for now, I might suggest using jit.gl.mesh since
you're rendering planes.  You can use texcoord offsets and one large
texture (or several with jit.gl.multiple/mesh or multiple meshes) to
get different images.

wait, wait, how do you use those 256 textures with jit.gl.multiple?!

See the help file. There's an input matrix of indices into a list of

textures. It's a char matrix (thus the 256 limit).

How would I go about changing texcoords using gl.multiple?

i don't think he's suggesting changing texcoords with multiple, but with mesh.

More than 256 textures in multiple?
