I don't think you can within the program.  I've only seen avi in the menus.  I use maya though, so I might have missed it.

Edit: just checked, no gif support.

Edit2: Maya has Gif support, but doesn't support animation.  Odd.

I'm seeing some amazing animations with maya, and a lot less with blender, is maya easier to animate with or something?

yeah, i got it.
i had to get every frame of it and put it in gimp. then gimp does the rest by putting it in frames then i just save it as a gif.

It's pretty easy, from my experience.  Also, rendering is a bit more complicated than other things I've used, but I've figured it out now.  Rigging is pretty hard though.

I have Maya, 3DS Max, and Blender.
So far Max is easiest for me.

I find maya easier to me due to my experience with Hammer and all.

Have you tried 3DS Max? Would you be able to tell me which one is better?
Also, how come my minifig model's right hand is all weird and stuff? It's like, inside out.

I've tried 3ds max, I find maya better because it's much easier to edit a mesh.
