We have tried full scene reload and update scene but nothing we do causes F10 renders to update the frame of the PFX. Whatever the last frame i used in the IPR is the one it renders with F10 but does not load the next frame. PLEASE advise! On a deadline (aren't we all:) )

Hmm, in full scene reload rendering mode the scene should be updated for sure. Can you please share a scene with this problem to take a look at it here?

Thanks,

Also, remember that if you have several copies of the object as LW clones you need to disable the "Instance LW clones" option to let them have their proper mesh deformations.

Thanks Juan-

Scene file sent you your email. For the record, LW renderer correctly updates with F10, and it also updates correctly in Octane IPR... Looking forward to your reply:)

One possible solution that we have found to resolve these kinds of issues is to render the scene frame by frame using an external renderer controller or a rendering script. The attached python plugin can render this scene without problems so far, updating the scene before rendering each frame.

Thanks,
