hi,
I have a image sequence with 190 frames, all .iff files.
I put them as a sequence in a shader and onto a face.
when I make a previewrender everything looks good, also in
the viewport I can see the images on the surface.
but when I start the batch render I just get a black face.
I have no idea what

a tip woulfd be that renderer sees different project environment? And thus the relative file naming convention will not be found. Specify the -proj flag.
