Amphitheater zoo

[Dae]

Alright, time to start posting about my project: a zoo with an amphitheater layout, and mainly a classical theme.

First screenshot to show the layout

I worked mainly on the plaza at the entrance for now

And here a more detailed view

Next step is reworking the habitats around the plaza

 

[Dae]

So I improved a bit the Aldabra tortoises habitat. The habitat has 3 parts: a desert completely private part and a tropical part, separated by a rocky large shelter.

The shelter is equipped with heaters, food tray, water and bedding for cold seasons since it happens to snow from time to time, and illuminated by dim lights for visitors at night (not that there's anything else than dim lights...).

I would be glad to have some more powerful lighting, but the guest are happy so all's good.

While working on lighting, I started to add more light on the plaza too.

I'm done with the reworking of the existing habitats around the plaza:

The first reworked habitat is the Chinese Pangolins, with a playful pangolin:


The second reworked habitat is the Red Pandas and their forest:


Next step, closing the half circle by finishing the newly set up habitat and adding the 2 missing habitats.

New day, new update, the first ring of habitats is completed

Were added:

• A Gemsbok habitat

Not much scenery here, since it's, well, arid... but a few nice pictures: a new birth by a stormy night, gemsboks mating and gemsboks living peacefully.

• A Bongo habitat

A forest mood for the bongos, with a shelter engulfed in the vegetation. And a nice shot at 2 bongos walking side by side...

• A Galapagos Tortoise habitat

About the same set up as the Aldabra Tortoises, with a tortoise enjoying a cold meal

 

[Dae]

And to end the week, the central habitat with peafowl having their lunch and under shelter during a rainy night


And I finished working on the plaza lighting

I'll make a forced pause next week, so no update before next week end

You need to activate Angle Snap for your Path. Then choose a starting Point and it's very easy to make a Circle. The Starting Point will still be straight though, so make sure to delete it at the End and replace it with a new Path Segment so it's looking like the Rest. Can take some Time though to get the Circle Size you want
