Ciao,
this happens when i launch an animation job.

Example:
1) i start animation job (250 fames). File save path "X:\animation\test_.mxi"
2) Job starts correctly. Files are saved with right name: "test_0000.mxi" .. and so on.
3) At frame 20 (or any other frame number) i stop job
4) Then I restart job, changing ONLY frame range (from 21 to 250 in this example)
5) Frames from 21 to 250 change filename in "test_.0000.mxi" <<< there's a point before sequence numbers

so... in this example:
frames from 0000 to 0020 are named "test_0000.mxi"
frames from 0021 to 0250 are named "test_.0021.mxi"
and if i stop and resume again, filenames will be always wrong: "test_.0246.mxi"


it happened 100% of times, and i didn't find any way to solve it, cause the 2nd session of animation has right path/filename input, but wrong filename output (both on mxi and img file).

t.y.
ciao
Luca

What software do you use to export your animation MXS files?

In the meantime, before this is fixed, you could use a file renaming utility to add a "." to the file names.

I export animation using 3dsmax 2014.

Will i get a ".." file name or a great workaround?
I'll try soon (= monday) to export with a "." placed in the file name.

T.y. Bubba, have a good weekend!
