Issue with loading different textures on a sequence

[werkvoll]

In the Modo Viewport the texture changes on every frame but in the rendering every frame has the same texture. Is there a solution for this problem?

We don't support animating the visibility of texture layers.

It is possible to support it, but I feared possible performance issues, where the visibility is not animated, but MODO API reports it as such, which would result in V-Ray for MODO exporting a more complex material than actually needed.

You can animate the opacity instead.
Make all textures visible with opacity 0% in each frame, and then set the opacity to 100% for the frames where the texture needs to be visible.
Edit: Make sure to use exactly 0 and 100 %, as the code is optimized for these values. Still there might be a performance hit.
Edit2: Consider using an image sequence if it's possible in your case.

I have it logged to find a work-around for animated channels that are not animatable in the V-Ray core.
Like render resolution for example.
