Converting SMAC Units

[Ozymandias]

In a deep, dark corner of the Apolyton archives, I found the following statement::

".cvr files contain the 3D voxel geometry of the units."

Any thoughts/possibilities?

might need SMAC gurus @Darsnan and @Buster's Uncle on this one mate

cvr stands for Caviar, which is what the SMACX unit animations are. There are (or were) Caviar players and editors out on the internet, and I think there was some modification of existing cvr files (like re-skinning the scout cvr), but I don't recall there ever being any completely new cvr files created.

TY. It makes sense. Given that every unit "chassis" in the game is customizable, I'm not terribly surprised. My main desire was for the base SMAC Settler unit, which I thought could be great for an SF mod.
