Is there any way to animate environment texture map ? I set up animation and it displays correct values in box, but can't see it on frames, seems that it doesn't work correctly or I am doing sth wrong.

Modo 801 + Octane plugin version 1.52 (it displays still 1.50 in About).

Hi - are you animating the actual map that is loaded (ie. a different map for each frame), or the rotation?

I tried two ways: rotating hdri texture locator on Y in Modo, and second - in Octane environment settings, there is a tab with Rotation Y too (please have a look into screenshot below)

Use the second method, and make sure Load All Frames Into Octane is NOT ticked (in the Kernel settings). This will force the plugin to load the environment settings into the Viewport each animation frame (so you can animate the "Rotation Y" channel of th Octane Environment setting). If this does not help, pls let me know and I will investigate further.

There is a bug in the plugin where the rotation is being read at time 0 in certain circumstances. I will post a fix for this in the next day. Sorry about not picking this up earlier.
