iTools:
I have limited experience with iTools. But if iTools can be run
from a command-line, to be automated, then I'd be happy to use iTools.

Using Plot instead:
The reason I'm not using the plot_3dbox function is because I like
the 3D lighting/shading that you get with the 'orb' object type. I'd
be happy to use plot_3dbox, or whatever other function, if I could
recreate the cool shading and alpha-channel effects you can get with
xplot3d. I really just want to make animations of xplot3d plots being
rotated.

VRML:
Yeah, VRML is super old, but xplot3d can export to it. Maybe I
shouldn't use it, and that's fine too. Ideally I'd create a 3D object
in xplot3d that I could use in PowerPoint, or the web, or somewhere
else, to share with my collaborators. It's not a big deal.

Thanks for the replies!
