I've just made some graphics for sloped sections that should fit, if you want to configure them as fences. I included some non-animated gate pieces if you were thinking of configuring them as exhibit fences as well.

Let me know if you find they need any adjustment.

Also still interested in the one with the window (opening)

Thanks for the work!

Just stumbled upon this thread and a lot of beautiful screenshots - excellent zoo design, Vondell. The Bighorn exhibit with the waterfalls and dolphins (?) was particularly impressive, although all of your screenshots show a creative knack. Clever to use gifs, too!

Rise, thread! :worship:

 

 

Getting myself back in gear with a little project - I wanted to try a koi pond related build with Hawkkeye's koi, and I decided I would try to replicate, or at least take inspiration from, this style of modernist, blocky, terraced pond garden:

Something I've never tried in ZT before. I knew I it would be multi-leveled with multiple surface materials, with lots of flat surfaces and lots of the ZA invisible glass tank wall.

I knew I wanted to try something unique with the shape and layout of the ponds ... and I knew I wanted to keep the "gardening" very minimalistic, mostly grasses, hedges and water plants.

 

Here's what I wound up with ... "diorama" style. (Click to explore in full resolution.)

Question: how many tanks do you suppose there are in total? :)

 

 

I also really like how it looked "bare" in this WIP stage ... I might actually prefer it that way, but you know ... at that point it's not really much of a zoo build, is it?

Did I achieve my goal of replicating that modernist garden pond look? Yes, I think so! Could it be done even better? Yes, I think so ...

I am not sure if you can make it look better then you did but I'd say knock yourself out
