Animated gifs not animating

Hi.. in a way, a bit cheeky as I only have the Hobby version of Twilight as i do not use it enough or in a way that would justify the price right now, but i was following the guide (viewtopic.php?t=4701#p34215)
on how to get textures to animate during animation rendering, however, they don't seam to want to animate. I have a texture of some water, i created a basic gif animation of that water, i go to the materials editor and select the non-animated texture via the droplet, then change the colour slot to texture and select the animated gif version (it's still set as 'flat' for the template cause.. i'm not quite sure why, but the water templete just seams to give me blackness, but that's not too important), then when i setup the camera and click to animate, the animation just has the texture being non-animated, more then the animated version..

Twilights properties say I have version 2.15.3 (though the extension manager in sketchup just says 2.0

Is there any thing i might be missing? i made sure to have the textures even have the same name just in case something was broken with that, but no luck..

thanks for any help.

Hello tempy111 :welcome:

Animated GIF textures require the Pro version.
