Just a question; if i want to use lots of different photos as textures, say 100 different photos (all in same scene) on different cubes, can i do this?

I don't see why not, just don't expect it to perform admirably with all of those texture changes. You might want to look into creating a texture atlas if the textures are fairly small (a texture atlas is just a way of combining several textures into one texture so you don't have to switch textures so many times when drawing stuff).

ah, i'm sorry. i thought i probably misunderstood the question posed. I haven't done much with texturing yet, and seeing i want to use it later on in my project, where i have a scene of hundreds of objects, which i all want to have a photorealistic look, of which at least 100 preferably different photos, but i'll settle for 1 if i have to :-).

Mind you, how will the performance be ? There have been games like this as well right? Ofcourse, i could devise something that doesnt render those objects which are not in my frustum, which should save alot of fps already. Also, what does the poster mean? 16 Simultaneous textures means 16 Simultaneously (but can be different) photos right ?

But nevermind then ;-)
