animated self illumination not changing when I render

[Munz]

I have a light that I have animated the self illumination to go from 0 - 40000, when I render single frames it renders correctly but when I render a sequence the material does not animate, the light stays off the whole time. Any ideas why this is. I am using Max Design 2009, mental ray, and the material is a Arch and Design material.

 

thanks

are you calculating the FG for each frame and not saving the FG to disk?
