Dynamic lightmap

[running_jr]

Hi all,
hopefully someone can help.

I am exporting a maya model, that is animated to smoke to be comped.

The model i am going to export will have various textures, these will be applied in smoke.

I am currently using the 'mental ray baking options' to bake in specular but this does it for one frame only

Is there a way to bake it dynamically per frame basis or would it be a case of scripting this?

Any help would be amazing!

Mostly a script and what dynamics does is the same thing
