Hi,
I have a problem which I can’t find a solution for.
Maybe someone is so kind to help:
I have baked out an Texture Sequence for an Ocean Displacement.
They are numbered in this scheme “name.0001.exr”
Now I try to render an animation and used $F4 inside the displacement node and also in a second try on the displacement properties.
But v-ray always loads Frame number 0001 for every frame.
Attached is my log file, the it’s marked.
How to load this sequence correctly frame-dependent in displacement?
Thanks a lot!

in the image file sop, load the first frame only, and in the frame sequence parameters put the $F as frame to load
No prob - it’s not intuitive indeed, and it’s working in a way that deviates from Houdini norms, so it’s confusing the first time it happens. It would be great if it can work as expected instead 
By the way, in VFH 4.3 it’s implemented already in a different way, this should be the future implementation seen in VFH 5 too.
This accepts the standard $F in the file name and you just make overrides to the frame range if needed, this is still WIP.
Best,
David.
