My Bad...
I tried method 3 using only playblast (its fast) it seemed OK, however I
didn't
try using batch rendering.
AEassignTextureCB is an undo***ented mel code with AE being the attribute
editor. During batch rendering there is no connection to the attribute
editor so
the files do not reload new files AT ALL. AEassignTextureCB works fine for
single frame rendering and Playblast but not with batch rendering.
Also loading a saved scene with AEassignTextureCB in an expression will
knockout
the colorblender view****t display (it appears only a grey object). And you
have
to reboot your computer to get view****t colorblended shader working.
So don't use: AEassignTextureCB at all.
I'll look for a workaround or if anyone knows a workaround, please post
it.
Sorry about this...
