Help with a model-ish issue

[Ndoki]

I'm in a real bind, and I'm sorry for bothering you guys with it (and for it being my first post) but I am in desperate need of help. I need an animated gif of a colossus walking and I can't find one anywhere! I tried using a model viewer to make my own, and have NO idea what I'm doing. Would anyone be able to help?

Basically I'm looking for as biggest a resolution as possible, walking, at about a 45 degree angle to the right and down, like this:

Also, I need this within the next 24 hours or I'll miss the deadline and I'll be screwed. It's for a really big project I'm working on and I need help desperately!

Again, sorry for bothering you guys with this. I'm sure you all have better things to do, but it would totally make my day, nay, my month.

Also, if anyone IS willing to make me a gif of this, I'd prefer size over smoothness. To be honest I'm only going to need a 5 frame loop. And if you found a gif already, then just ignore this.

This requires special tools which are not bundled with SC2. Does it even have anything to do with SC2E next to that is where the model is?

I would like to help you but I do not have the tools required to make animated gifs any more.

I was told there's a model viewer in the map editor, but I don't know anything beyond how to open it, so I couldn't say. To actually make the animation would require some outside programs, either a screen recorder like fraps, or a model ripper that can convert to video. I suppose now that you mention it it isn't really starcraft related beyond the model viewer I heard about. Sorry to bother you guys with it.

The model viewer has a built in video recorder. It can dump to .avi with little effort. The problem is that I do not have an encoder from .avi to .gif anymore and that is not part of SC2.

actually my favorite program for making GIF's has a built in converter. I'll be honest, I missed the deadline for my project, but another will be coming up eventually so I could start working on this myself if someone could tell me how to view models/record them? Or point me somewhere that explains how? I'd really appreciate it, and then I wouldn't have to bother you fine gents anymore.

 

[Dr Super Good]

You choose the model from the asset list at the top right of the viewer. The recorder is accessed eithor from the file menu or by clicking the clipboard button on the main bar (below the menues).

Find the Colossus model in the data editor.
"Preview" it.
Find the walk animation.
Fraps.
