Hello,
Thank you Duncan!
Actually Sys.getenv("PATH") said the same thing: ImageMagick is in my path (and
convert.exe is where it is supposed to be), but after i opened R (to see the
actual path in R, as you said), loaded rgl, and run again the example, it
worked.
I guess that after the software installation, I should have loaded rgl package
again in R.
So now it works!
Thank you once again!

Likely it's not really in your path. Use Sys.getenv("PATH") to see what R sees
as your path. It certainly won't look like what you just posted: those %
variables will be expanded, for instance.
If C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.6-Q16 is on your real path, then go to that
folder, and make sure the executable "convert.exe" is there. That's what rgl is
looking for.
