animation render with array modifier

[snfx]

Hello, is there a bug or is it my fault:

I want to make a animation where an Object has an Array modifier. on this modifier a offset value should change while animation. When i hit render ( with animation pipeline enabled)
vray renders the same position of the array over and over again.

The same Problem i have with shape keys. it seems that the exporter is exporting only one mesh (could it be?)

So is there a special setting or do i have to use the Blender 2.49 for animations at the moment?

snfx, array and things like shapekeys are changing mesh - so you should enable Animation, then press Export meshes (this will export all frames mesh data) and then Render (this will export mat, tex, object transforms etc..).

Ok here is a simple testfile, ive just downloaded the latest blender build with vray using your link and i have vray standalone win x64 (maya 2011), with tongle....
maybe it is really just a little mistake of mine....hopefully

snfx, ops some test code leaks into release build ((( Ok, I'll try to update builds as soon as possible.

I think it's something not right with the script, rather than the builds. It doesn't work properly on my builds with the latest script either. It is as described. The animation will play in blender, but when rendered shows only the current frame (the one active when "export" was pushed). It's the same result if "count" is keyframed, or I imagine any other variable in that modifier; whatever is present when export is pushed is rendered over the animated frames. It's also the same with other modifiers like solidify, screw, etc.
