Hi,

Internally, Substances have access to a system variable named $time useful for creating time dependent animated textures. This $time variable is available from Functions and FX-Maps.

Unfortunately, iClone doesn't drive this variable (or update the Substance API) with its own time from the timeline, so the $time variable never change in Substances used in iClone.

No time dependent Substance animation are currently shown/possible in iClone (unless exposing an attribute manually animated.. but existing Substances relying on $time still wont work).

Substance is very well integrated in iClone, I really love it. The only missing bit is this $time variable not being updated by iClone.

Please fix this.

Cheers,
Guy.
