To get around the node limit, did you ever consider the FXTree? Each texture in the scene is represented by a clip in the FXTree's Clips menu with an input and output. This allows you to apply image FX (paint, composite, layer, transform, crop, filter, ...) to each texture without increasing the size of the render tree.

Yeah its an odd project and honestly we tried Maya, C4D and Houdini and Soft was the best option! Basically have a bunch of growing textures UV mapped onto tracked geometry to simulate a spreading ink/paint looking thing. Simulations were too difficult to control, too much R&D and didn't allow us to tweak little parts of the effect or create seams, etc. Made a crap load of offset animated textures, brought them into the render tree, moved a bunch of texture supports around and done. Looks/works great…just hit a ceiling with the node limit. Oh well. ------ Softimage Mailing List.
