I know they're supposed to be grooming, but looks to me as if the one on the left is trying to explain the mysteries of lemur life to his pal.

Can I ask a question, please? I have been looking at other people's show & tells for ZT2, and quite a few of you have overview shots of your zoos. Not an overview map, but of the actual zoo (as if from a helicopter kind of thing). All my pics as you know have been from ground level. Stupid question, perhaps, but how do you do those overhead shots? Clicking on the camera option always takes my right down to ground level. :help

Thanks very much, Friend and Sam. I will be posting some aerial pics soon :)

Post by: Rosinas Cat on March 24, 2005, 07:46:09 AM
Tried to do aerial shot, but I got a message saying I couldn't upload this type of file. Had a look and its a bitmap, not a jpeg.
Never mind - more animals pics instead!!  Snow leopard escapes!! :shocked

Aww...the snow leopard is so cute!  :wub

You could go back to the overview pics and save them as .jpg or whatever instead, but sometimes it loses its color. ;)
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo

Great tropical zoo, i love all the animals!


BTW you could also take overview pics by building a tall cliff and taking pics from on top of it, if you have the space to build a large cliff in your zoo ;)
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Rosinas Cat on March 24, 2005, 03:02:46 PM

Giant panda time. Although I think this is one of those times when Blue Fang have sacrificed reality for the cute factor a little too much. These guys look more like soft toys than pandas. But what the heck, here they are anyway!

I've now sent this zoo for submission. Should be available soon. Hope you like.... :blush

Hi guys. I couldnt resist showing this pic I have just taken. I know it has no animals, but I thought it was lovely. I am using it as my wallpaper at the moment. I will try to catch a polar bear in the next pic (this is taken from behind a waterfall in a polar bear exhibit) :)

Hi. I've been tinkering with my ZT1 zoo for a while, but now I have a couple of zt2 pics to show you. I know this sounds very disorganised, but I just found this pic in my album and I have no idea where it came from! Possibly it was from when I am playing about with cute tundra photos for Adam1990's contest. Anyway, I thought it was worth a show...

Can I ask a question, please? I have been looking at other people's show & tells for ZT2, and quite a few of you have overview shots of your zoos. Not an overview map, but of the actual zoo (as if from a helicopter kind of thing). All my pics as you know have been from ground level. Stupid question, perhaps, but how do you do those overhead shots? Clicking on the camera option always takes my right down to ground level. :help

You could go back to the overview pics and save them as .jpg or whatever instead, but sometimes it loses its color. ;)

Hi. I've been tinkering with my ZT1 zoo for a while, but now I have a couple of zt2 pics to show you. I know this sounds very disorganised, but I just found this pic in my album and I have no idea where it came from!

Well thanks very much, guys. Although I know mine aren't anywhere as good as Zoohio's. But that wont stop me showing some more of mine! :lol

Oops, just realised you could see most of that path in my previous pic. OK, I'll try to find another bit!

Thanks. As for the settings, erm, yeah, s'ppose, said the techno-idiot! Is that the setting you control  in the game, or something on the pc? If its the game settings, I think it is on high, yes. I have NO idea about anything to do with my pc!  :P

Anyhoo, more pics.  :rolleyes

I am actually a bit disppointed with this one. Considering its got my favourite animal, with a waterfall in the background and a nice dusk sky, for some reason it doesn't click for me. (I know, why show it then!!)

Well so much for posting more pics here today! But I received Wolfclan's quilt zoo this morning, so I have been making my okapi exhibit for that. Its a great zoo - hopefully Wolfclan will be submitting it for download when its finished.

Better go now. There are rumbles of thunder in the distance and we might have a storm any time now. I hope we do, it is soooo humid here at the moment! :sweat

I have started another new zoo. I havent got any animals in yet, but as you can see I have plotted out some exhibits. I really like the spash fountain for an entrance. And apologies to LadyZookeeperNY and zoohio for blatently stealing their pretty paths ideas. (Further into the zoo I have checkerboard paths!)

Hi peeps. Here are some pics of my new zoo. I've been concentrating on the tundra area.

Every polar bear needs a thinking place.
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Rosinas Cat on July 02, 2005, 05:27:50 AM
Previously I have only put a few penguins in an exhibit. But today I thought I'd put lots in, and see how it goes. After all, in the wild there are hundreds in a colony. Never mind the fact that in the wild, polar bears and penguins are literally on the other side of the world from each other! :lol

Rosie, the thinking Polar Bear is awesome. The lighting give the appearance of early evening.

I am not sure about the Golden wall. I think when you place walls on angles they are generally red. I like the golden wall though.
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Bengal on July 02, 2005, 06:19:43 AM
The walls turn yellow when they are placed on extremely steep slopes...I'm not sure what purpose it stands for  :erm

Anyway, I love that tundra exhibit-- and I see you've chosen an alpine map...I love the mountains in the background  :)
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Rosinas Cat on July 02, 2005, 12:01:06 PM
I tend to use the  large alpine map all the time now. It certainly has the prettiest scenery.  I love the mountains too, Bengal. :D  More pics tomorrow. I'm still watching Live 8.  :cool

That's such a pretty exhibit  :D

I just now have started exploring the freeform/sandbox portion of ZT2, unlimited cash, whee!  :w00t

Hopefully I can learn something from your exhibits...and thanks for all the support!
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Rosinas Cat on July 11, 2005, 09:34:52 AM
Thanks for the kudos, guys! :D

And Honor, yes I always use freeform. I know its not for the strategists among us, but it means that if you, like me, often decide, 'Ooh, I think I'll change that exhibit from giraffes to elephants'. then you dont wait around for a month or two for the money to build up. And I always used the money cheat on ZT1, so here its just done for me already! :lol  If you ever need any more advice, Honor, feel free. Although I'm sure you could find much better builders than me to ask... :blush

Thanks guys. And sorry, Earl, but you won't be able to walk into it! When I went into ZT2 to work on that zoo again last night, I got a message saying that the file was corrupted and couldn't be read.  :( The last time I worked on it, there was a windows error message after I had save it, but I thought it had been fixed. But no! So unfortunately I am starting again. I really liked the layout I had going on in that zoo, so I am trying to recreate it as best I can.But I am really annoyed, to say the least. :angry

Hi guys. I have a question for you.  I really love the rainforest biome, but I am not sure which of these pics is the best way to do a rainforest exhibit.

Pic 1 - not a lot of foliage, so the peeps can see into the exhibit easily.
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Rosinas Cat on August 27, 2005, 12:46:56 PM
Or

Pic 2 - more foliage, as there would be in the wild.

Let me know what you think, guys. Which way do you go with this?
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Zoo on August 27, 2005, 02:41:57 PM
Rosina's Cat, i'll go with more foliage, it adds more education, so it'll help your guests out.

Plus it looks realistic too!
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: zoohio on August 27, 2005, 03:51:30 PM
I like lots of foliage but tend to place it on the outer edges of the exhibit so the animals have a place to hide, and also a place to run, forage and be seen by the guests.

Thats exactly what I do. I have heaps of foliage but I make it like a "Jungle Clearing"

Sorry if anyone has already shown this, but I've only just realised you can do this. Although it only works with certain plants. This is with larkspur, which I think works best.

Somehow, and I don't know how, I've never been in your zoo thread before.  I just went through it from the first page to the last, and I have to say, you are really great at this show and tell stuff!  So many of your pictures are beautiful, or adorable, or funny.  I'll definitely be coming back here more often now!!!  Some of my favorite shots are the alpine pics, the beaver in its branch home, and the flowers in the fountain...I didn't know you could do that.  And of course the baby pics!!!

Once I get my CD back I'll be showing an exhibit with some path designs like you had...but when I made it I had no idea people were doing it altready!   :huh   Oh well.  Hope you and Zoohio don't mind that I joined the club!  Keep up with the pics, they are very good!   :happy  :)

**HAHA, I typed the correct name for a beaver's home and it got bleeped out, even though I spelled it the correct way instead of the offensive way with the "n" at the end....WHY can't I think of a better word than "branch home?"   :blink
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: zoohio on October 06, 2005, 01:31:08 PM
The best name or terminology for the beaver home is a Lodge or Den.

Honor that is very nice of you to say so, but lets face it, you are the one with the contest winner flag under your signature! :D  Glad you like the pics, all the same. :blush
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Honor on October 06, 2005, 10:49:05 PM
So would it be really obnoxious of me to point out that you didn't enter the last contest, *grins* and if you had I think you would have beat the pants offa me?  :happy

I see alot of room for improvement in my zoos, esp judging by the reactions to my latest show and tell, but I'll be the first to admit it's not that good.

Anyway....

I really like the elevation idea you have going....sometimes I wonder if it doesn't affect guest happiness to climb steep hills, but I figure they dont' complain about it so it must not matter. Also, I have a problem with my okapis escaping (in my latest show and tell, the yafi) into the jaguar exhibit below... how do you keep your animals from doing that in the exhibits that have one overlooking another? I can't figure it out.
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 07, 2005, 01:35:59 PM
Honor, I'm not sure what you mean by 'elevation idea'. If you mean the pics that are taken from an elevated position, they are usually taken from a hill or cliff inside the exhibit. I don't have any elevatioin in guest areas (ie paths, food courts etc). Hope that answers that. As for escaping animals, I must be just plain lucky - it doesn't happen to me. Except when I first go into a game and I will get a message like 'Ibex 3 is not contained, ' etc.

By the way, guys. having read RND's note that the forums are being pruned, I went through my pics in this thread and saved the best in my hard drive, which I probably should have done ages ago. Anyway, they make the best slide show screen saver. You should all try it with your own pics!  :cool

Great zoo, Rosina! But, as to the Polar Bears - they're not 'flying' they JUMPING into the water! I've been in the exhibits many times and seen them do that. They LOVE to jump! They jump off the edge of the pond, and off the ice floe itself. I saw one jump over a food trough once. Isn't that odd, since they're so big? Kind of like elephants jumping, I think!  :lol

I haven't seen them 'climbing trees that aren't there' yet, though.  :8

csleesburg,you've shattered my illusions! I thought Blue Fang knew something about polar bears that no-one else did! :lol  You must admit, though, it looks like they are just suspended in mid-air. And as you say, for such a big creature its quite an achievement! :rolleyes

Thanks a lot guys. And Copito, don't apologise for your English. It is excellent, and way way, WAY better than my Spanish! :blush

Thanks a lot Wolfclan and ky.

Actually, Wolfclan, what you said about natural looking exhibitis reminds me of a question I was going to ask. With the rainforest exhibits, I am now usually trying to match the foliage to the animal or animals. So with a mixed exhibit, I would put, for example, only African with african animals (eg okapis and lemurs). Then use only African foliage. Does anyone else do this, or is it just me? Sorry if this is a dumb question: maybe everyone is doing this and I am just really slow to catch on! :lol

Anyway, here are a few taken from the Jeep tour.

I had to 'get out' of the Jeep when I noticed that a Red Kangaroo had managed to hop over from the scrub exhibit next door, into the cheetah's exhibit. Yikes!! :lol

:w00t  :w00t Congratulations your exibits are so cool.  :w00t  :w00t

I do the same, I try to put the especific foliage for each animal but is so dificult in some animals like Asian Elephant because it isn't a tree from asia and from scrub.

please send more posts  ;)

Yes, Copito, I find it really only works with savannah and rainforest animals.

I will be posting more from my new and still 'under contruction' zoo in the next day or so. I am using both skytram and jeep tours for the first time. Previously I have only used one or the other. Hope it looks ok!  :8

I do this all the time but i find it hard because african only has one rainforest plant

The last screenshot was to die for, and are you by any chance a professional photographer ? Because I do not think that I have ever seen such wonderful photos ever !!!
Title: Rosina's Cats Zoo
Post by: Rosinas Cat on January 21, 2006, 09:29:53 AM
Yes it is limiting, GoneWild. I find it is only really feasible for the rainforest biome.

And Crookshankz! I'm so pleased you like the misty one. I nearly didn't post it, with there being no animals in it.  But no, I'm a strictly amateur photographer!  :blush
