[edit] Buckyball
Buckyball is a project to play Freeciv on a true 3D globe. It is going to need nice models and textures as it matures.

[edit] SVG tileset
A project to create an SVG tileset was started by Arturo Espinosa Aldama under the name of Worms, featuring characters from the video game of the same name. His work is published on his homepage and archived on ftp.freeciv.org. It is at the time of writing incomplete.
The project was subsequently forked by Frédéric Rodrigo who removed the worms theme and called it R-hires!. He aimed for the ambitious goal of having every single piece of tileset-defined sprite being rendered from SVG. This project is nearly completed, but lacks at the time of writing any SVG unit sprites. His work is published on his homepage and archived on ftp.freeciv.org.

[edit] Blender 3D building and tech icons
Feler404 is working on a set of building and technology icons rendered in 3D with Blender. See the relevant forum thread or this Polish site.
Note: As of Freeciv 2.1, some of feler404's work has been integrated with the Amplio tileset.
 Experimental use of tech icons |
[edit] New "small" icons set
The icons use in the Freeciv GUI were drawn at the beginning of Freeciv and did'nt changed since (example of old icons). I tried to drawn those icons in a better look, for the version 2.0, with a reorganisation of the corresponding ".spec" file (example of new icons). For using this new graphics, just copy the files small.png and small.spec in the /usr/local/share/freeciv/misc/ directory or its equivalent on your computer.
[edit] Heightmap-based rendering
This is a prototype for a heightmap-based renderer for the Freeciv client. It used bumpmapping in combination with a heightmap-function to do the rendering. It is based in an idea from the land-script in GIMP 2.2. See also this forum thread.
