Post by: reeve105a on January 31, 2007, 05:24:44 AM: If you haven't guessed by now I love landscaping my zoos. The animals love it but the guests hate it. Some of the zoos I've made are very large with only a few animal exhibits. But I spend weeks adding rivers and ponds and they take up all the space..: :) :

Who cares?!! The animals have to live there all the time, not just visit for the day. (...just a game, Rosina, just a game....:laughing: )

I forgot about those lovely waterfall rocks! I really must start on zt1 again. : :) :

Post by: Seraphii on January 31, 2007, 10:44:30 AM: Wow, these are AMAZING! The detail on that Rex exhibit.... I must Borrow these, If I may?
I made a river, but it has no way of being as good as yours >.<
I am so much in awe of you!

Title: My zoo
Post by: seaworldgurl1 on February 02, 2007, 02:53:39 PM: these zoos are absolutely amazing!!! how do you make it so the animals and you are both happy w/ the exhibit? lyk do your animals complain about the terrain and amount of foliage in their exhibit? i can never get mine to look that good while keeping the animals happy. do u use a hack possibly?
Title: My zoo
Post by: reeve105a on February 03, 2007, 07:54:38 AM: The animals love the exhibits, I just keep adding plants until they are very happy. I don't use a hack.. I'll post some more later.
Title: My zoo
Post by: seaworldgurl1 on February 03, 2007, 12:10:45 PM: oh...ok...i was just wondering because your exhibits just look too good to make your animals happy!! you are are a really great zoo builder by making the exhibits look good and keep the animals happy at the same time! your techniques are incredible! i tried the river thing and it didn't come out half as good as yours!! maybe i should just stick to ZT2....

Post by: Cuddly Panda on March 21, 2007, 03:48:51 PM: Fraps is a very useful tool. If you go to YouTube and search for Jurassic Park Operation Genesis you can see what stuff you can get. I am currently attempting to create some ZT movies of my own, and an Impossible Creatures mini-series.

Nice movie, by the way!

Post by: Heron on March 28, 2007, 06:16:37 PM: Hello, I enjoyed your zoos. I noticed that you dont do much with savanah ((sp)) type landscape. I'd like to see what you come up with for that :)

also in your "how to" video when you are placing bushes and such do you just click fast or do you have a program for your mouse that auto clicks?

Very good :)
