What do you want done?  I'm sure that many people have the knowledge of recoloring and resizing enrichment.

If you want to know about creating objects the best place to start would be to get the OCT available at the ZT2DC

And another thing to keep in mind is that objects like donation boxes are different from animal enrichment objects in a big way. If you increase or alter the object, no animals will use it. For an animal to use it (like Penguika's kelp bed) it has to be coded into the animal's coding, not the object itself. So, you see, it really depends on what you're trying to make for someone to say they'd help you. :unsure:

I recently designed a larger version of the polar bear, and it looks kinda weird when it eats from a food trough. I was just wondering if there's any way to make a larger version of that food trough so that it would fit the bear.

Yes, there is, but ONLY your polar bear would eat from it. You know how in the animal's ai coding it says:
b_TroughEater="true" b_MetalTroughEater="true" b_FoodDishEater="true" ?
You'll have to have a name for your expanded trough (like GiantTrough) and add "b_GiantTroughEater="true" to that line.

Got it? First make the trough, and make sure it works, then just add that line to your large polar bear and voila - Giant Trough eater! :original:
