JohnVM's Current Projects

(Main Post Last Updated: 6.21.2016)

I've been in this community for over a decade and I'm still not much of a designer, and the standards are only getting higher. I still dip my feet back in the pool every summer, often after visiting one of my local zoos and getting a little inspiration, but most of the time I'm still a full-time college student and aspiring writer.

My Current Projects include:

  • A "restoration" (literal remake) of the original Brown Bear created by Spin in December 2004 as proof that new user-created animals can be made for Zoo Tycoon 2. It will be a recolored grizzly bear, like Tasmanian_tiger's original skin, and as close to the original version as possible. Already working in game and just needs polish. Might make an RR 'remake' version for fun but we'll see. (99% done)
  • A new Bonobo, which currently uses the original Zoo Tycoon 2 model, or optionally, the Radical Remake model. It will remain in the TropRF biome and will be slightly smaller than the ingame Chimpanzee, and is coded to show up after the original animal in the menu. It is now being reworked by BurntGecko around a modified RR Chimpanzee mesh :) (90% done)
  • I am considering remaking my original Dire Wolf as I've forgotten the existence of any other versions, although I'm sure one just slipped past me, as happens in my "old age".


Scrapped Projects:

  • I had started work on a Giant River Otter but have scrapped it as HENDRIX apparently made one as part of Wild New World I was not aware of. I see no need to complete work on it at this time as a result.
  • I was working on a Mountain Tapir and a Kobami Tapir last summer (2015) but was too focused on my other projects - lgcfm has since completed and released a fine and satisfactory Mountain Tapir here so I see no reason to continue mine. There is also a Kobami Tapir now.
  • The Asian Lion remake is in limbo and will probably be restarted from scratch if I give it another go.


This is only a partial list of the items I am most confident I will have done and release-able in the near future. I will keep this first post updated as I make new information available and have more screenshots and proof of design.

Pretty sure Maxforever's tapir is PD ;)

Nice list, however you need to post proof of your work to open a project thread.

Yeah, I did check on AD's beforehand.

I'll take a look at that one then.

I posted two new screenshots, albeit in Nifskope, and an image of my projects folder, so unless 'proof' has been re-defined, I think I'm okay. I just put them as text links since it's nothing ground-breaking.

I think it is, but I'd ask, just in case.

BTW there's a topic under help&support about which downloads are PD.

it's good to see one of the first designers back in business.

may i ask why can't you mesh? are you simply not good at it or is blender acting up for you?

Yay, JVM's back :D!

@one_piece: In my opinion (although I can't say for sure about JVM's), meshing is far harder than programming and skinning... XD

Maybe you can ask ZC or Eyrel for her mountain tapir, I think that could be useful for the Kambomani tapir.
I like the list, can't wait to see more. :)

Edit: Are you sure that the chimpanzee isn't PD? here you can find the credits of AD, and as I know everything that DM has done is PD.
