Does anyone know of a nice, automated way to get a Lightwave animation into
an animated GIF?

For me, it takes way too many steps, culminating with manually loading each
frame into GIF construction set. I am just way too lazy for this. :)

Works very well, took me only 5 minutes to convert a series of pic to a gif
anim.  compared to over an hour with the older version.  (LONG GIF)

ULEAD (http://www.ulead.com) also has a GIF Animator that works rather well.  
It too supports drag and drop plus image exporting.  You can also make global
changes (ie: frame to frame timing, ect) rather than hand twiddling
everything.  You can download a 30 day trial version you can download.  They
have some other cool web tools as well.  I grabbed 'em plus PhotoImpact at a
local Fry's after working with their GIF Animator.  

Having a GIF Animator plug-in saver would be cool too but the various tools
out there work.  :)

Enjoy,
Dan
