You can find lots of tutorials here. Obviously most of these are pretty old but the basic principles will still apply. The key thing to bear in mind is that if you're going to make units (or leaderheads) you need to have access to some kind of rendering and animation package, and know how to use it already. The guides here assume that you can do that, and give you the specific information you need to make graphics that can be used in Civ III. So if you don't already have that knowledge then you might do well to have a look elsewhere for guides on how to use DAZ Studio or Poser, or whatever you have.

Perhaps a video might be a better way to understand: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/wyrmshadows-bryce-tutorials.226059/

Go there and click on "Introduction" Wyrmshadow made a bunch of videos explaining his process with using bryce but the basics apply to any program you might use to make a unit. Do not ask Wrymshadow any questions he is not active anymore and your questions will go unanswered but I am sure if you post in this thread someone might be able to help.
