Im trying to render some animated maps that are linked to some of the fur attributes like length and color. All is good, I have baked the maps under the fur description and if I take a one off render it is working well, so no probs with the connections.

The problem is when I go to batch render they dont work and after BR the animated maps stop working altogther. Ive saved my file and set project so Im sure the baked sequences are still linking, any ideas?

hi ...

I've had a similar probem a few months ago ... after to bake the attributes, they don't link as a relative address, but local ... for example " P:\Maya\My_project\fur\furAttrMap\what_ever_FurDescription1_Baldness.iff " ... so link problems sometimes ...

Fur made some expressions when You bake an attribute, with the link to the .iff image of the baked attribute ... just open the Expression Editor, and check if the link to this baked attribute is in a local way, or relative ... if local, then just delete till " \fur\furAttrMap\what_ever_FurDescription1_Baldness.iff " ...

Of course one can look at this on the fur attributes, but maybe by the Expression Editor is even more easy ...

Good luck

so sorry, You want to animate some Fur attributes with an image sequence? ... so maybe what You need is some kind of MEL for to load the needed image on every frame ...

I'm not sure, but the problem can be that Maya only load one image from the animated maps, not all the sequence at their needed frame ...

Good luck ... hope this help in some way :beer: ...
