How to add new 3D graphics and civ leader screens?

[otakucore]

Not sure what they're called--the movies or animations that play when you talk with another civ. Napolean on his horse, Nobunaga spekaing Japanese. I'd like to know how to add a new one.

Can those screens be replaced with pre-rendered video?

Has anyone posted a tutorial showing how to add new 3D assets to the game?

Has anyone added new 3D assets to the game?

Has anyone added new 3D assets to a previous game, using methods that could be applied to Civilization 5?

See this thread for the exciting continuing saga of working out how to get a custom 3D leader into the game.

that would be pretty sweet if we could use .biks again for movies (ala civ4), or even a static dds would be satisfactory.

I'll be keeping an eye on that thread. Thanks for the link.

I wonder if it's possible to mod the user interface so it loads pre-rendered video instead of the 3D leaderhead; so that, for example, one could animate a 3D scene in DAZ Studio and bring it into the game as a video background layer. Even still background images would work, though it wouldn't look as nice.
