[WIP]Leader gfx project - updated Feb 25, 2017

May 28, 2016 10:01:37 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I'm working on a couple of leader gfx. Pls. see the preview pic for some examples.

 

I plan to create more, but it's not that fast, so don't expect lotsa new gfx each week. But I guess I'll be playing GC III for longer so...

edit: updated May 20 2019 - includes citizens

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4wm8f936xs6poyp/Leaders_v3.zip?dl=0

 

The easiest use is to copy the files into the corresponding folders in ../my documents/my games/GalCiv3. This will enable the pics to be used in-game when editing custom races. Alternatively the filenames of those pics can be edited into custom xml files manually.

 

Modders can use those as they wish (for example to include them in own releases), provided it remains non-profit use and credit is given.

Nice work.  Sure beats my "borrowing" art assets from my copy of Fallen Enchantress.

These are great, and I think you'll find plenty of interest from people who would like to use them for custom factions!

Looks good! Glad to see someone making custom models! You could ask Gauntlet if he would like a few custom models so he won't need to rely on stock images.

The problem I usually face with using stock images is finding out what they are from which just makes me change whatever image I use for my original idea into something I don't know the source of, and so it goes on. No more of that!

 

I am looking forward to seeing these guys animated, too! So many good things going on with GCIII right now and I can't wait!

Thx for the comments. I'll release them in small batches of ca. 5-10 leaders, the 1st batch in the next days.

 

I do mostly leader foregrounds (so the actual leaders gfx on transparent BG) plus the smaller pics for the race selection.

 

In some specific cases I'll provide backgrounds too, for example right now I have an aquatic alien in the works that makes most sense in combination with a blueish background. Other than that people can just use whatever BG they like either provided by vanilla GC III or custom.

The 1st part is released Please see the OP for link and some new previews.

 

FWIW I had some of those created already for GC II, which needed quite some rework for III though. A couple are completely new.

My browser won't let me download it, it's getting flagged as dangerous. Any chance of using something like Dropbox or Onedrive?

Ok, I never got that prob with sendpace...the file itself is tested virus-free with AVG.

 

However, I included a second link in the op leading to a Dropbox location. Pls. drop me a note if it's not working  (because I hardly use DB to share stuff publicly, so dunno if it's all right).

I can see some improvement from your earlier work. I liked the first batch, but they sort of had a stylistic consistency, sort of if they might be related remotely (which is not a bad thing btw). The more humanoid ones here show a more varied style which is a big plus.

Great as always mate. Keep up the good work!

I released an updated package. It contains all the previous leader gfx plus five more new leader FGs from the last preview.

I also included some reworked versions of the first (little details changed). UNless you want to stay with the original versions just overwrite them with the newer ones...

 

Please see the OP for the link.

I'm preparing a small update for the next days.

 

The main reason is that one of the recent aliens didn't work well in all screens - if you set this up as your own civ it's too much down in certain reports. Also I made aspecific BG for it, as the vanilla GC pics did not fit IMO.  The pic below shows the new BG:

 

 

Other than that I'll probably include 2 new FGs.

Hey GalCivius, any plans on making citizen portraits now with the expansion being released any moment now (as I am writing this)? Would be cool to see what variants of each you could come up with!

Dl-ing Crusade right now

I thought about this too. It will need a bit of course, but I hope to add citizens for selected custom species I made from time to time

Ok, this is a bit of a thread necro.

It took me a long time, but I made few more leaders, reworked some made previously, added few more BGs, but most importantly also added citizens for 10+ of the leaders/civs I created.

So if ppl are interested in those - do you prefer to get the individual factions via Steam, or just like before the gfx per download for own modding? I got to admit I put most attention into making the gfx, not so much into a faction's flavour text or anything else

Example previews:

I, for one, would prefer to download them myself.
