Hi Bent,
You need to have your image maps numbered sequentially, tied to the
frame numbers of your animation. Then use frame_number, something like
(Note it is not tested) 


height_field{png  "heightField_1.png"  smooth
             texture{
                pigment{
                        image_map{
                                  png  concat("teture",
str(frame_number,-1,0),".png")
                                 }
                       rotate x*90 // lay X-Y image map down onto X-Z
height
                       }
                    }
             }

You should read the help 3.2.1.7.3  String Functions
To get the correct values for the string padding. 
Also for fault finding add a #debug statement like (Not Tested)

#debug concat("frame_number = ",frame_number, "/t", "Image =
",str("teture", str(frame_number,-1,0),".png"), "/n")

Read 3.2.2.7.1  Text Message Streams
