This code looks for a sequence of images labeled "red001.tga" through
"red390.tga" while the clock ticks. You can then use Pigmap in any pigment
statement (or as a function in an isosurface if you want to build an object
with it; sorry, forget that):

 #declare Pigmap = pigment {
  image_map {tga concat("e:\\red\\red", str(clock*390,-3,0), ".tga")
    map_type  2  interpolate  2 } }

So maybe number the images sequentially? How many are there and how often do
you want the image to change?
