I noticed that the editor allows us to import character models from the story mode cutscenes, such as Ariel Hanson. The models themselves, however, don't appear to have any animations. Changing an in game unit's model, such as a ghost, to that of Hanson results in the unit model being static. I was wondering, would it be possible to somehow give those models movement, attack, and death animations based off existing animations used with regular units?
Did you know that the Civilian Female and Infested Civilian models also have no animations yet they still move ingame. There is a field in the models data type called Animations (Required) which allows the importing of animations.

Greetings everyone! ( First post, yay! )

Yes all it requires is competency with a 3d modelling program.
I'm guessing there's no real way to set the animations at this time then? I'm not aware of any way to import and edit SC2 models in such a manner.
Edit - NVM, just saw the sticky for the exporter. Ty =)
There's a 3D Studio exporter/importer plugin, check the Artist's Taven forum.
