To be honest I love the brick walls but I'm not too crazy about the vines on the glass, they just look a bit like paint :S It would be prefect if the vines touches the edges and connected to the brick columns, because right now they don't look like they're connected to anything (Y)

But if they're supposed to be painted on it looks great (:

I disagree. I actually think that they should look painted/gel things placed on the glass. I think it'd be unrealistic to make them look like real vines, as I don't think a zoo would have real ones hanging over the glass fence...That'd cause a lot of scratch in the glass (especially around trimming time) and it would be a mess if a little kid would happen to pull on it.

...Or at least that's my opinion.

I love the wooden slat fences and the brick wall with the vines. Just simply spectacular.

Yeh I see where you're coming from, but all of the zoos where I've been to it hasn't been vines, but instead caomflague-like paint over the glass, where there are gaps so people can still see through to the gorillas in this case, I haven't seen vines painted on the glass as such.

But if you can find me a picture of ones with painted/fake vines then I'll happily agree with you.

I agree with Zoo Master, real vines, don't they damage buildings as well?
It would be better as paint to get the camouflage feeling.

Great, then I remembered something XD
So, if they damage buildings then glass wouldn't be a problem if they'd be affecting it for a longer time?

I really think we are getting a little too picky in the quest for ultimate realism.

They look fantastic as they are, and I would be more than happy to have them now.... :D

Actually I just read back what I said and I disagree with it now :D Although it would be good if say the vines rose from the floor or something like that (:

Ore try to eat it !

It would be a huge problem if a child eats it and needs to go to the hospital...


But I like it ! Will you make that *ahum* dak met die lianen aan de zijkanten ?
that would fit amazingly with these walls ! :IWANTCANDY:

Omg *laughs very hard* Your post is really funny Iben XD. It reminds me of my French teacher, who talks French a lot but sometimes she says Dutch words: French French French French DUTCH. That's so stupid and funny XD.

I started working on an elevated path with vines on the sides a long time ago, so I am definitely going to make them for this pack.

That isn't more stupid than my French teacher. He speaks Dutch but with an incredibly exagerrated French accent. He says his name like 'Offringâââââââh...' like he has his fingers in his nose.

Wonderful designs! I love the rock wall =D
