Concept art from the official example. This image shows generated art, not in-game footage.
The idea
The San Franciscans example builds a civilization for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It renders AI-generated 3D models into the game’s camera angles and writes the resulting sprites into the required format.
What was built
- A Robotaxi unique unit and Delivery Drones come from generated 3D models.
- The Transamerica Pyramid becomes the civilization’s wonder.
- The documented work includes a reverse-engineered .sld sprite writer. The image shown is concept art.
The example source and original field note document the implementation. Their version requirements and limitations matter more than the headline.
