Maya Image Plane - Image Sequences

Had some trouble today working with Maya's ImagePlane Node.

Image sequences that you want to use with Maya's image plane must use quite a specific naming convention. The file name's frame number must be separated by a '.'

Eg:

MyImageSequence.001.jpg

MyImageSequence.002.jpg

MyImageSequence.003.jpg

MyImageSe....

rather than

MyImageSequence_001.jpg

or

MyImageSequence001.jpg

or

MyImageSequence-001.jpg

If you're using Adobe Media Encoder to convert a video to an image sequence, set the Output Name to the file you want the use two '.' then your image extension. 

Eg.

MyImageSequence..jpg
