SM5 texture limit news?

[Sitrec]

I just wante to check if there is any news on the texture limit of SM5 being pushed to 32?
The roadmap card states that it was meant to be researched in the previous two months so I just wanted to hear if you know anything else?

I’ve having trouble with the current limit so I figured it would be best to check if it’s something that might arrive soon or if I should just continue struggling with my landscape material, or if it’s better to just wait for Epic to increase the limit.

Thanks in advance!

I’ll bump this.

Its still 16 at this time, as even though SM5 can have more than 16 textures referenced in a shader, it can only have 16 samplers referenced, right now samplers and textures are tightly coupled (For each texture there is a unique sampler), they would need to break this coupling to allow as many textures as needed (up to 128 or something). But only 16 different types of samplers.

I see, never really understood how it works, thanks!

As of 4.6.1 you are able to have 128 samplers. You just need to set Sampler Source to Shared in the material for your textures.

That’s the ticket, it works finally, thank you so much! We must have missed that in the release notes!
