Hey guys, anyone could point me if there is a wonder model and a movie for something like Marco Polo Travel?

thank you!

I think there is a pack named "Lost wonders of Civilization" in the download section which includes Marco Polos wonder. But I can not tell you, how it looks.

 

[ChaosSlayer]

thank you I will take a look

There's a tutorial: How to create flags for civ4 - for dummys it helped me a lot. Hope it will help you too

If anyone would like to make a Nazgul leaderhead, I would be eternally grateful.

The face would be easy.

I am using Nitram's Ruga LH (as Bumin of the Gokturks), but there are some issues with it in game:

Spoiler :

It's kind of hard to tell from the screenshots, but the left part of the fur around his hat is constantly flickering (you can see it largely non-rendered in the pictures). Am I doing something wrong? Here are my art defines:

       <LeaderheadArtInfo>
           <Type>ART_DEF_LEADER_BUMIN</Type>
           <Button>art/LeaderHeads/Bumin/Btn_LH_Ruga.dds</Button>
           <NIF>art/LeaderHeads/Bumin/genghis_khan.nif</NIF>
           <KFM>art/LeaderHeads/Bumin/genghis_khan.kfm</KFM>
           <NoShaderNIF>art/LeaderHeads/Bumin/genghis_khan_noshader.nif</NoShaderNIF>
           <BackgroundKFM>art/LeaderHeads/Bumin/genghis_khan_bg.kfm</BackgroundKFM>
       </LeaderheadArtInfo>

If everything else is correct, would someone mind looking into the model?

I wonder if anyone would like to do a leaderhead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_Watie for my Cherokee civilization. I am now using a reskin of John Adams, but his hairstyle is very different and the face is quity ugly after I tried to make him more native america.

I just want to refresh this request, maybe someone has an idea how to to a proper LH for this.

I want to change all the graphics and text for some of the religions. I can't figure out if that's already been done or if I should try to figure out how to do it myself. I tried searching for "religion" in this subforum, but didn't find anything for this exact issue.

Text is done in the gametext files usually held in the Assets/XML/TEXT folder.

Unit graphics and buttons are in the Art folders with their definitions in the XML art define files.Sometimes they "compressed" into a FPK file.

The religious icons shown above the city bar in the map are held in the GameFont files and I strongly recommend you use Asaf's Game Font Editor

I really want to make citysets and units for CIV, but I can't figure out textures of UV Maps. Could anyone show me how to do UV Maps / Wrapping? I don't know what to do with all those edges...

Matsuda123. I can show it to you. Problem is, you work in maya. If you want learn wrapp in Blender, send word. My English is bad, but I can make some pictures

Actually I'm going to work in Blender now. Maya is clearly not equipped for Civ IV. So I would love to learn from pictures.

I tried a simple tutorial for you in my thread "Civil Wonders"

Dear fellow modders and talented artists

I've just published my Port District mod: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/sdk-xml-port-district.27309/

However, I really need some nice models to replace the fort (placeholder). Ideally we would have ancient, renaissance and an industrial\modern variants.

@ devolution
As I once wrote. Find a picture that matches your idea on the web and put it in a thread. I will try to process the model as shown.

Let me come up with some ideas than

Those are really nice!

First of all, great mod component, I'm eager to use it and good graphics are the only thing that's missing.

But I have to wonder, is it even possible to have improvement art that can be placed at the right edge of the tile based on where the coast is?

 

[hrochland]

I also asked this question.
Apart from the fact that the ancient designs represent wonder more than the improvement, I would suggest the form of an artificial island - a building on the water without a shore-based orientation.
