replacing vray proxy during render

[rdg]

Hello,

if this is for the offtopic section- please move it there.

I read a lot about the possibilities and not possibilities of faking animated vray proxies.

Vlado says in this post, that one should replace the mesh file for every frame.

I did this and it works fine in the viewport, but when rendering a sequence the object isn't replaced by its proxies ... I need to render each frame one by one ...

Before I spend to much time on this topic - I dare to ask if someone has a solution for this?

Is it technically possible? Or is it a fact that starting the render freezes the object geometry ?
Changing ie a text over time works - because it is a property?
Changing the proxyfile doesn't work because it is wasnt meant to do this?

I highly appreciate any fog clearing answers.

Unfortunately the proxy seems to only use the file from the first frame, rather than read the file name for each frame; I'll try to correct this for future builds.

A somewhat tedious workaround for now is to create many proxies with the different files, but change their visibility over time.

Best regards,
Vlado

A script can handle this.

Thank you for your answer!
