Using Maya 2016 sp6. I have mapped a basic image sequence, named steamLoop.0001.jpg to a plane. When I toggle on "use image sequence" and render it the image breaks and the plane renders gray. When I turn off "image sequence" it renders properly with the first image showing as I would expect. I have tried breaking the expression and simply keying the image number to change the frames...it still breaks. It breaks when I toggle "Use Image Sequence." 

 

Does maya have some bee in its bonnet with the naming or the file extension? This sequence works and has been tested in Max and Modo but I am forced to use Maya at work to do this job.

Solved. Turns out this is a bug with Vray. It doesn't like the padding in the image sequence name.
