Hey there,

I am using VTK, I create several planes and set a texture on them with a for loop.

I total 43 different ones.  
A snipped of my code. I a loop, where texture[i] is a list of textures:

```
texturePlane = vtk.vtkTextureMapToPlane()
        texturePlane.SetInputConnection(aPlane.GetOutputPort())
        texturePlane.AutomaticPlaneGenerationOn()
        polarMapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
        polarMapper.SetInputConnection(texturePlane.GetOutputPort())
        PolarActor = vtk.vtkFollower()
        PolarActor.SetMapper(polarMapper)

        PolarActor.SetTexture(texture[i])
        PolarActorlist.append(PolarActor)

```

and then

```
    for i in PolarActorlist:
        renderer.AddActor(i)

```

Unfortunately I get the error:

ERROR:root:Hardware does not support the number of textures defined.  
Does anyone know how I deal with this problem?

Regards,

---

Version of VTK? OS? Hardware?
