This tool is free to download and use, but only for non commercial project or scenarios related to Civilization III.

All the source code is original and has been made by me alone, and I retain the rights to all these softwares.

This program can be used to merge individual frames into a single storyboard.

It's used by most of the artists who are creating unit animation for Civilization III.

With this, they generate the frames with their favourite 3D program (Poser, Bryce, etc), and then they use SBB to combine the frames into on stobyboard, that is compatible with Civilization III, and can then convert it to FLC with another tools, like Flicster or Civ3FlcEdit.

It can also be used to convert graphics from other games.

 

 
And it can be used to create multi figures units. Combine the storyboard of different units, or repeat the same units with several sprites.

With options to desynchronize the sprites for less "robotic" animations, centering and resizing.
