How to do the thing with the tankwall- (I will try to explain this just with words first) 1. Create your water to the depth/height you want. 2. Extend the water over the area where you want the tank wall to be so the water is on either side of where you want your viewing area to be. 3. Place the tank wall across where you want it. 4. Place land on the side where you don't want water. (The tank should now be way too high) 5. Using the flatten tool start on the side with the water and go to the side with land flatting the terrain. There might be a simpler way but that is how I know to do it.

That doesn't work for me... the tank doesn't get "Way too high" or anything. When I try building underwater areas the other ways people have done, you have to lower the viewing area down and then all the surrounding fences have to be sloped. Mr. weasel makes them all perfect and neat, with a level viewing area. |

Thats because he raises the ground of the inside of the exhibit. Then he puts in the water and levels the tank wall to the viewing area. He has fences like a square back beyond the water level so no stretching of fences happen. |

oh so everything inside the tank is raised! I think I got it! thanks so much CRG! EDIT: Nevermind... I give up. These things are too hard. My otter is now walking on top of the water and swimming on the land. Plus it looks bad. I'll just stick to land exhibits -_- Edited by Athena, Apr 21 2013, 09:21 PM.

I like it, though if you can do basic editing I'd suggesting putting a bit more contrast on the karaka/guioa in the back. It's very... one tone. |

Though it is very generic (almost everyone has used that, myself included), I still think you can do more in terms of depth... It all seems very up-close, you know? Try putting some trees some distance away to see what I mean
