Re: image sequence doesnt render with vray

A shot in the dark, but this sounds like an export optimisation thing that was badly implemented (like the exporter saying: "Oh, I already know this texture, I won't export again to speed up the refresh), even if it's not an interactive session.Have you tried disabling "Enable incremental export"
