How To Bake A Projected Texture Sequence

[flashmagic]

This questions has popped up all over the boards, but nobody seems to have an answer. I have an animated projected texture that I need to convert to a normal (non-projected) texture map sequence. I've tried Batch Bake (mental ray) and Convert to File Texture (maya soft), but neither have an option for saving out a sequence. Does any one know a way of doing this? Script??

Is there a reason why you can't use a texture reference object?

Anyways I have thought about writing a mel script that would attempt to step through a sequence and render the projection as a map for each one.

Well one is quite easy to script yes. One could even register a new batch render type for this. But yes no biggie its just a simple for loop.

No maya at right now hand but its very simple to do all you need to do is echo all, copypaste the command that executed the bake and put it inside a for loop that increments time by one frame. for x frames.

Maya scripting doesent get much easier than this. This is by teh way a sdkill one can learn in 5 minutes and benefit hours every day immediately by knowing it.
