If you are using windows, just use Edit->copy-3d-win-to-clipboard and paste the image into a gif editor.
You can use the current png plugin to make stuff like this:
AC3D saves a series of png images, which you load into a gif animator to create the animated gif file.
The png plugin adds a command which is like this:
Code:
ac3d save_win_3d_image_png <filename>
So you could write a plugin (in TCl/TK) which used this command to save an image everytime you pressed a button.
e.g.
you could put this in tcl/patch.tcl
Code:
toplevel .pngwin
button .pngwin.b -text "save image" -command "ac3d save_win_3d_image_png c:/file.png"
pack .pngwin.b
This could be expanded to increment some filename counter each time. This would require more work - any volunteers?
