A basic frame range, start to end frame with an optional frame step. The number is replaced by $F when collapsing the sequence, possibly with a padding digit ($F4).

UDIM

UDIM texture sequence starting at 1001 for tiled textures. U and V are determined from the frame number, with U ranging from 1-10 and V incrementing for each 10. Frame 1001 is considered (0,0). The number is replaced by <UDIM> when collapsing the sequence.

UV Tile

UV Tile texture sequence with two numbers determining the U and V. The first number is replaced by %(U)d and the second by %(V)d when collapsing the sequence.
