are you talking about 3d animation using ac3d?
if so, ac3d doesnt support 3d animation.

but i think you can make a animation(.PNG) of the 3ds view rotating.

Damn, I was hoping to use animations too. Well, if ac3d doesn't support it, how do I make my characters do some sort of animation? Ex. when they punch, there arm extends, and they have a slightly different facial expression.

im pretty sure you can find some animation program for linux there.

Default Re:Animations

For animations I use AC3D like this:

I model some stuff with it and export it to POVray (and/or model directly in POVRay as well, depending on the object to model).

In POVray I fiddle with the objects and whatnot and use POVRay's capabilities to spit out multiple images using the clock variable to determine the way the should look/be positioned.

I'd suggest creating all the geometry you require for your scene in ac3d, then import de .ac file in Blender (I've tried it, and everything imports perfect); once in Blender, you'll have no problems creating a camera, applying materials, lights and doing your animation.


there are plenty of tuts on that out there!
