Zoo tycoon 2 User-made expansion pack


~Description~
What is Interesting Island's aim and contents


The User-made Expansion pack for the PC game Zoo tycoon 2 is actually focused on creating latest graphic animals with the latest requirements of animals in the community. The animals usually surround the endemic and exotic animals of the islands across the planet Earth, known for their rarity and beauty or even their grandeur. The team actually began with the aim of recreating the well know Island Excursions by Artifex, which eventually became a standalone project revolving the new era of Zoo tycoon 2 community.

~The Team~
The team members who are undertaking this large scale project are listed as follows


  • Bill Nguyen ( Mesher - Skinner)
  • Dacentru (Skinner)
  • Dinosaure99 (Coder)
  • Flower (Idea provider - Skinner)
  • Lazardi (Mesher - Skinner)
  • LC creations (Object mesher - Object skinner - object coder)
  • Robbie (Skinner)
  • Thom (Coder)
  • Tyranachu (Mesher - Skinner)


~Sub parts~
The various sub parts that are to be undertaken by the team


If you can design we would like to invite you to help us in this Expansion pack. Anybody is free to join, given you have skills. Please PM Dinosaure99 if you are interested in Joining.

~Thank you~



.:First animal:.
Southern Minke Whale


The Antarctic minke whale or southern minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) is a species of minke whale within the suborder of baleen whales. It is the second smallest rorqual after the common minke whale and the third smallest baleen whale. Although first scientifically described in the mid-19th century, it wasn't recognized as a distinct species until the 1990s. Once ignored by whalers due to its small size and low oil yield, it is now one of the mainstays of the whaling industry alongside its cosmopolitan counterpart the common minke. It is the most abundant baleen whale in the world, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. It is primarily restricted to the Southern Hemisphere (although vagrants have been reported in the North Atlantic) and feeds mainly on euphausiids.

The model is good, but the skin is too dark, I think. You're missing out on the subtle patterning that makes this such a beautiful species :)

The skin indeed it's a bit dark but overall looks good.

PS.: We wouldn't mind seeing the list of animals, if you made one of course. :P

The skin is actually not that dark, just the render that make it look that way. Ingame it look even better since it use reflection map.

And it use manatee anim

Oh good, so it's alot slower than you'd think, that's good.

Most people who do whales use dolphin animations and so you see the whales zipping back and forth at crazy speeds.
