Hopefully one of those snacks isn't the zookeeper! I hope to make some other eldritch monsters too, especially once I become more familiar with Blender.

It looks like a gourmet monster with a different mouth for every meal or snack!

It is available at DG Tribute to Steve Irwin

I saw in another topic that there was a Steve Irwin statue at Zoo Tycoon Unleashed, but that site has been shut down. Can someone upload it here?

Thank you very much @pukkie :) I finally made some progress on actually getting the images ingame. This photo looks good but there's still a lot of work to do. I'm not happy with all of the rotations and it feels like the images may need refining... but proud to have a step forward on getting fences ingame! :)

Practice makes perfect, time spent on learning Blender better is well spent. Your new model is gruesomely fabulous!

Hello all! Been a bit since I've updated this. I took a short pause on this particular project in order to practice with Blender more. Did some practice sculpting, learned some tricks, all that. But with that, I realized there was stuff I still needed to do with the little monster's sculpt and mesh before I could animate. So I removed the armature I had and went back to sculpting! Now I'm tidying up the meshwork with retopology (as seen in the pic). Trying to learn things one step at a time! But I should at least have the static model going soon

Here is a preview for some of the fences I am hoping to work on. I don't think I will be doing all of these pictured, some were more experimental. The 'red rocks' were inspired by the exhibit area of the same name at the Saint Louis Zoo. The black chainlink fence is inspired to look like an aviary fence. I've also always wanted some dark colored concrete fences and a rock wall with glass instead of bars, although that is the most ambitious and difficult concept. I tried very hard to make my attempt resemble the ingame rock wall while still having a glass area closer to the plexiglass fence but it doesn't quite feel right.
