Hello again, I thought about this idea and the 3ds max limitations. Maybe its possible with a different approach, by animating (override) the visibility instead of hiding/unhiding objects. I´ve tried to set the visibility of complex objects to 0 and they are completely ignored by the renderer (no initialization etc.)
Would it be possible this way?
The problem is, many of us are still using older versions of Vray (3.0 and Next) and there is no chance that this feature will be implemeted in the renderer. So, an independent solution would make things much easier.
