Hello. I also had some difficulties (sp) using PAR sequences in LW3.5.
I worked for about four hours to get a time lapse cloud animation to
reflect from some text. I noticed two things about the par sequences
#1) For the image name I used
Clouds.0
It seems LW only uses upto 999 images for the sequence. PAR exports
the filename with four digits for the frame number.
#2) When loading the image LW doesn't imeadiatly load it. Stats shows an
image loaded but no memory used and no resolution. This is what really
stumped me! All you have to do is render the frame and voila the image
