Just as a follow up. Maya does this on the background when you activate
image sequences:
import maya.app.general.fileTexturePathResolver
maya.app.general.fileTexturePathResolver.getFilePatternString('C:/texture.0001.iff',
True, 0)
# Result: 'C:/texture.<f>.iff'
But it doesn't tell you what it does, because if you set that using setAttr
, it will fail in Arnold. But if you let maya do it, it will work. Maya is
doing something else after getting that, but echoing all commands will
return nothing after that call.
So after that, maya is doing some magic I don't know about...
