How to rescue scene with too many textures?

[thenomad]

I've got a legacy project that I was hoping to re-render in Octane - however, thanks to its game roots it has faaaaar too many textures per scene for Octane to handle. (Up to 400 or so textures in a scene). It's based in 3DSMax but I can always output to other formats.

I don't really have the time to, for example, go in and texture atlas individual objects until I get under the texture limit - if I have to do that I'll probably just shelve the project.

Does anyone have any suggestions of ways to make Octane and these scenes play nicely in a more automated way? Paid plugins aren't out of the question.

I did consider baking the entire scene to one massive single texture, but wasn't sure if that would work!

The texture count limitation was removed a while ago.
With the latest octane versions you are only limited by the available VRAM (not the number of textures).

What version of octane are you using? Have you tried the scene already?

It was?

Oh my god.

Heading off to try it now! Thanks!

(I have tried the scene, but I saw a few missing textures and assumed that was a result of hitting the texture limit. But if there's no longer a numerical limit then it must have just been screwed up material imports!)
