ForestPack problem

[fixeighted]

I have an object on which there is some scattered grass.
The grass is growing and the growth is driven by an image sequence, which Vantage now supports
with the latest version, which I have.
Within ForestPack I have animated the scale of the grass objects from 0 - 100%
In Vantage, although everything is loaded there is no animation.
If I look at the materials list there is no image sequence, so my question is how can I make this happen, if it is doable?

I can't say for sure, but most likely this is translated to an animation of the Instancer object inside the .vrscene file.
We don't support animating this object when loading .vrscene files yet.

However, it should work when using the live link animation rendering ?

Ah ok, that's a shame but no deal-breaker.
Actually I was mistaken and I am not animating any parameters.
The only thing that is controlling the scale is the image sequence but
I guess it is the same limitation.

Unfortunately I can't use LiveLink as it is a reference Vantage file that is for the cameraman
who does not use Max, so I'm again stuck

[fixeighted]

I'm trying to find some method of providing reference sequences and thought to try an image sequence as diffuse just to give an idea.
I have tried every conceivable permutation of exporting but can't get this to work, so here is the link to the scene object and another link to the animated mask ifl.
Please suggest what the process is.

I answered in the other thread.

Yes thanks.
It seems that today both Vantage and Max decided to screw with me and this particular file, although working perfectly yesterday, decided to not do
anything today, so no live link, no textures, no export, nothing basically.
Merging the object into another reset scene appears to have sorted it out.
