Subject: Re: Batch function for Ultimapper and Render Map
The same script functionality to execute every frame and update the output file
could be applied to Ultimapper as well, am I correct?
Sorry but I'm not too familiar with scripting, but looking at the manual looks
nothing super-complicated ;)

This is gold!
Thanks Matt and Alan ;)

You might find Sajjad's Mapify plugin useful as it can rendermap a sequence:

Set up the rendermap property as usual, then write a few lines of script to
execute rendermap every frame while updating the output file path.

Subject: Batch function for Ultimapper and Render Map
I remember there was backburner for Softimage once but I suppose has been
removed...
So, I need to use ultimapper and render map to render out each frame of my
animation, and if I remember correctly this was doable with backburner
With Soft 2013 there is a way to achieve that?
I'm trying to replicate the effect done by Blur in this video @1.59
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38wh5Fn4WEs
The system or the dynamic tassellation/normal map is what I'm trying to
achieve, but I will need the maps in order to test something else
Cheers
