Hi. Is it possible to render animations using frame step?
I would like to and tried to render with a frame step of 2 (only render every other frame) but Modos Frame step does not seem to work!
Is there a way, maybe I have missed some features?

Hi Niklas, the plugin does not take into account the Modo Frame Step. The Frame Step is only a local variable on a Modo dialog - so the plugin is unable to access it. It might be something I could add to the Kernel->Animation panel if it was important for you.

Hi, I don't know if it's that important, maybe, but not if it's just me this time!
I'm on a project right now where it should be handy but I have never used it before!
