[Freeciv-Dev] unit graphics

[Lukas Tönne <lukas.toenne@xxxxxx>]

Hi folks !

I have started building new unit graphics with the open-source 3D software 
Blender. About half of my stuff is already on ftp.freeciv.org and i opened a 
thread on apolyton to get some feedback about it (there are some images 
available in that thread). 

The units are true 3D models with animation and different action types, which 
can be rendered to image sequences or animations like the commercial games 
have them. Most people seem to be quite happy about having animated graphics, 
so i want to ask you if there are any efforts made to generally implement 
support for animation of unit actions such as attacking, movement, etc. and 
"special effects" like nuke explosions, city turmoil and such things ? 

I'm not very familiar to the freeciv source code, but i don't think this 
feature would be too difficult to implement or would require changing the 
whole client structure.
