You may be right - the Animation process only loads animated images each frame for Octane "Materials", not for the Octane "Environment", so this is a shortcoming. I would have thought animating the Environment HDR map would give very poor results - and I cannot think of why this would be needed. Are you able to give some more information on why you need this pls?
Thanks
Paul

To have your lighting environment change;
In order to achieve some extremely difficult lighting, as in underwater faked caustics;
Because all parameters are said to be animatable.
I'm not that guy, nor do I use poser, so pardon the intrusion. However, I can see the posters desire to have such a thing and thought to chime in.

This is not the case with the Poser plugin - only a very small number of Octane settings can be animated.

This a sad answer paul ..
i think about a object move inside a forest background real footage with a hdr move about the same real forest so all light and shadow follow it on object in move ...
Paul i talk about VFX .. cgi and footage
this feature IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Where are you getting the HDR image sequence moving through the forest from?

A forest hdr probe animation ? Is not complicate make it.

I dont understand if the problem is octane standalone software or the plugin ?

Thanks for supplying the addition info. At this stage the Poser plugin does not support image sequences for the Environment map. It could potentially be added in the future, however it would be a complex change and need a lot of effort testing, so would not be a quick change.
