Planet Zoo - Giraffe House & Habitat Speed Build
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 11. 2019
- I was inspired by Rotterdam's Blijdorp's giraffe house to build a similar habitat building in Planet Zoo - with some Arabic touches. The rest of the exhibit offers some viewing shelters and winding paths for guests, allowing them to get up close with the giraffes - who on the other hand have a spread out grassland to explore. Yes, I'm still on the separate habitat speed builds while I'm trying to find my footing in this game, but some bigger stuff is in the works! I'm afraid you'll have to be patient though with my speed of working on things :)

I don’t own Planet Zoo, but it looks like a builders dream.
I....I was already caught at the intro. I really love the design of the Giraffe house. I must say that this is something i was really struggling with. not really an idea for these big bois
You're truth
i dont quite get why people are arguing about the ethics of zoo´s in a game like planet coaster while not giving a damn about GTA or just First person Shooter in general. It´s a game, it´s there to have fun, to do what you want to do. If you want to build the most animal friendly zoo ever go ahead, if you want to build a zoo that does not care about animals, do it.
if you can go on a rampage in GTA why not build a zoo´s thats just a pure breeding station for money. for me that makes no difference at all because they are games, not real life. easy as that
of course it´s good to spread awareness about the ethics in zoos, and zoos might not be the best for some animals but without zoos even more animals would have already died out.
@@vicalonso6597 that thing called symbolic violence is a thesis by a french sociologist.
i´m not quite convinved on whats in that thesis.
The big thing is, most people are very much able to distinguish a game from reality, some people not as much and you will notice that quite fast.
I´ve done lots of things in GTA, and other shooters, but i would never even touch a gun. if you can´t differentiate
between game and reality you shouldn´t play them or see a doctor, or even both.
Agreed, where was this level of fanatical geekism about PlanCo? As if theme parks are ethical either?
GSonic imho, there is a huge different between doing unethical stuff in gta and doing them in planet zoo. The game design af gta is all about killing, stealing cars and going to strip clubs, you can’t really avoid it becausr it’s the dna of the game and it doesn’t give you much choice about that. In the other hand, Planet Zoo is all about simulation, the game doesn’t force you to do the unethical thing. You can totally enjoy the game and stay ethical which is almost impossible in gta.
Not sure if i was clear enough ahah. I’m totally ok with people doing unethical things in PZ but don’t compare it to GTA, the idea is totally different
I think people who are arguing about the ethics of this game are the same people who don't support zoos irl, they may see this as a promotion of something that is unethical in their opinion but allowed by the law in many countries. Killing people is against the law everywhere so I don't think your analogy really works here cause as you said many people can distinguish real life from a game and that's not a promotion of homicide, but irl zoos with horrible conditions in them are not against the law in many countries, literal animal prisons where they die faster cause of stress of being near humans, small habitats etc. That's just my guess and answer to your phrase "I don't quite get why people are arguing".
@@vicalonso6597 i´m not saying it´s not real, i just don´t believe it quite in the form it is explained in his thesis. A well made game will immerse a player into that game, a well made game (let´s say a story intensive game) will even let you build up relationships with ingame characters, friendship, or sometimes even a kind of love, that will sometimes even reach into the real world. but in my opinion a person that is mentally healthy will always be able to detach themself from a game and with that be able to know that the behaviour in the game, for example GTA, is not the right thing to do.
i would not go as far and say that you are a psychopath if you play like one in gta 5, or would want to torture people in reallife because you like to do it in Red Dead Redemption 2.
however i would go as far and say some people need more overcoming being the bad guy in video games than other people
Those closing cinematics are just freaking gorgeous. You have an undeniable style and it works so well.
I know I am kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream new series online?
@August Nicholas Flixportal :P
@Maxton Trevor Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it !!
@August Nicholas you are welcome :)
I must confess I was worried when I saw the thumbnail - no baby giraffe face, no waterfall, no red arrows - that can't be a great video. But it turned out pretty decent in the end.
Kidding, great build again and interesting take on the ethic side, which I agree with 100%. I learned so much about animals and zoos in general because of my research for playing the game the way I do and I think it's sorta wasted knowledge if I don't pass it on to other people who might enjoy it.
As for the notification, you can turn off the in-game overlay in the steam settings under the in-game tab.
Haha I immediately recognized the Giraffe habitat from the thumbnail. I've been to Blijdorp Zoo quite a lot, loved your rendition of the building.
same
Heeeeeeey rotterdaaam

heee mede landgenoten!
Dutchies!
I really like that you turned 45° the glass panels, allowing more ventilation in their shelter. 🙂 Most times I see people playing this game and they go waaaay over the top with vegetation or the artificial lakes and waterfalls just for the looks, without taking in consideration the animals needs. So I definitely like your ethics approach much more. Thank you!
If all of these builds are in the same zoo id love to see a zoom out of how they're all connected. Maybe even a video on how you build and theme guest facilities.
I don’t think it matters how you want to play the game. It’s your channel, you get to play how you want. I’m very happy to see what clever builds you come up with. This one is ingenious. You are a builder, build on!
I have Planet Zoo, and you inspire me every time I watch you. Even If it's a video I've already watched, I love it. You are so descriptive, and I love the fact you talk as you build, unlike other speed-builders, (I.E Deladysigner) because, it's nice to have someone chatting to you as you watch, not just leaving you in the pitch soundlessness!
I really loved the fact that you show reference images of the things you are mentionning while explaining 👌👌👌
And again Silvarret knocks it out of the park with another amazing exhibit build.
Stumbled across your channel looking for building inspiration. Not only are you insanely talented! But your ethical talk made my heart glow, as a Conservation Zoologist I adored this, as I must have this talk 100 times a day with people. So thank you for using your platform for good!
I love that you think so deeply about your responsibility as a content creator to not only entertain but also educate. You are a good soul :)
Thank you! :)
It would be so COOL to just combine all of your builds into one BIG zoo. It would be the most prettiest of them all for shure.
I really like your builds, the cinematic ending is beautiful.
The amount of details in this build is amazing! I love that you mention the ethical factor of zoos. Many people forget about that and even though it's just a game it's good trying to spread awareness. It is really, really nice listening to you too and I love how humble you are 😊😊
Best Planet zoo exhibit I've seen yet
Really nice build Silv! Great to see someone recreating the Blijdorp Giraffe huis!
I just bought the game, your videos are a real invitation to let our creativity express itself :D
Love the pictures you brought up during the video!!
You are superbly talented! I couldn’t even fathom of being able to create this myself.
Simply stunning. As for ethics, people need to realize it’s a game and everyone is free to play the way they want. I especially enjoyed watching you build and making it aesthetically pleasing too. Well done.
Just, WoW! What a beautiful build!
i cant get over of how beautiful your building are!
That "hey y'all" felt suspiciously Scott The Woz like
Hmmm 🤔🤔
Yep, I like this a lot. The giraffe 'texture' on the main building is a nice idea
I can see this building from my apartment and the minut I saw this video I thought about it. Great job!
This is absolutely breathtaking! I would love for you to do a career mode, but make the zoo ethical, just to show it can be done in the real world, because we all know it can! Like I said this is breathtaking and I don’t know what my favourite is so far, I can’t pick. Looking forward to many more!
Wow that looks amazing!
Yesterday was the first I've heard of this game and I've been watching so many videos on it and your builds are gorgeous! Too bad my pc stopped working or I would already have this! Thank you for actually thinking about their habitats
It just looks amazing!
Ah I knew we could count on you explaining habitat ethics to us viewers. Thank you for being both informative and creative
AMAZING WORK DUDE !! LOVE IT
As someone who works in a zoo and studied resource management in college, I feel like you have to have some separation between a game and real life. This is a chance to explore my creativity, so I’m choosing not to squander it dwelling over the details.
Totally true! Something I forgot to add in the video, but that I value a lot, is that I do like the fantasy of the game to seem plausible. That's why in Planet Coaster I hold on to real rollercoaster manufacturers and designs, and feel like I have some ethical obligations in PlanZoo even if it's just a game.
Working same area as you, it takes time for me separe it.
This game seem useful for us in planning enclosure irl
i work at a wildlife refuge, and feel the same way! when i play zt2 i purposefully play with mods to remove animal poop and make the animals happy in game because i deal enough with zookeeper stuff irl, cleaning up skunk poo and getting attacked by owls and hawks regularly :P
Really amazing work, so creative and detailed! Also great that you consider the animals, the visitors as well as the staff in your design. Love it :)
Ik zag het meteen. Het is ook zo leuk om in die dome te staan. Somige giraffen laten zich ook aaien en die neuzen zijn zoooo zacht.
I think everyone should build what they want in this game, and it's great to see what different things come out of it. I like that you explain where you get your inspiration from and why are you building that stuff as you did. By the way the giraffe house is awesome as always!
Wow is all I can say. I'm just trying to recreate your Macaque habitat at the moment. This will be my next one. Love your builds. You're incredible.
Downloading this as soon as I get home! I love giraffes!!!!
Wow, je bent echt super getalenteerd. Ik hou echt van elke build die je al gebouwd hebt!
Beautiful onion! Also great Koali Zoo prestudy 😉
Those round horizontal timbers supporting that massive viewing platform inside the building ould never hold all that weight. Even less so considering many are attached to the glass wall supports. I understand that a certain suspension of disbelief is required in all video games, even builders such as this, but this really stood out to me. A few same-size round timbers positioned vertically would have been good enough to curb my disbelief, provided they were pinioned directly under the horizontal timbers. I also understand that the curvature of the platform lends some support to itself, but this effect still at least looks insufficient. Love your work, can't wait to see more zoo creations! :)
That's a really fair point, should've considered that and at least added some diagonal bracing. That said, I'm quite sure that this kind of structure would have steel beams in the middle of those logs anyway, using the logs only for decorative purposes! At least, that's quite common in theme parks. Then again, 'engineering' has always been my weak point honestly!
No wonder video has 0 dislikes, the content is great. It seems like you are the only one who went for quality over quantity on planet zoo vids. Can't wait for you to start building enclosers for european animals (bison included, we also have them).
love your planet zoo & coaster builds
The are no Words to describe how much I adore Blijdorp zoo ❤️
I'm learning so much from this!!
Great Job Silv !
Another awesome creation! Love it!
Love the build! Personally I wouldn't of used a glass roof, you've essentially made a giant greenhouse that could get really hot 🤔🤔
This is beautiful! Giraffes are my fave so I’m a little biased :p the keepers gave us red onion to feed the giraffes too so it’s a fitting name. Can’t wait to see you build a full park
Mate I am just gunna be another guy who tells you how good your stuff is, however by the Gods you are such an interesting guy to listen to, thanks again
I want to play this game so bad but 1. I doubt my computer could handle it and 2. it's so complex I feel like I would easily get overwhelmed. I'd rather just watch talented people like you make cool things and be good at the game lol.
Another real great build :)
I can’t wait to see an elephant habitat from you 👏🏻
Soon :)
I recognized the building was inspired from the Blijdorp one from the thumbnail. Very nice job!
as a semi new viewer i really enjoyed this video, the build was great, it was enjoyable to watch, and the conversation in it was thought provoking. ill watch more if you make more!
Instant nostalgic feels (although that exhibit isnt even that old) when i saw this thumbnail. I used to visit blijdorp so much when i was younger
Same!
This is gorgeous!
I love your style, how you play the game thinking about ethical problems, you are unique in this.
On the others hand, I'm ok with people trying things ... everyone know that you can't make a habitat with lions and zebras, I guess ... it's just testing the game!
Epic build. The Giraffe house also kinda resembles an African drum, which is an extra bonus I guess.
I love this so much! Giraffes in real life benefit from cross-species housing in zoos, so perhaps you could add some zebras to this habitat as well :D
AWESOME!
Another delightful, beautiful build! You might start out by saying you're working in sandbox mode, where you can focus on aesthetics most easily. Franchise mode, which really gets into the management side, is less forgiving. But it's great that there are several ways to play! :)
Would’ve love to see some nyalas or Gazelles in their, but this exhibit was Simply Amazing!!
Amazing!! Your videos always make me want to get back into this kind of game. Maybe I should try out Planet Zoo.
instantly recognized it from the Thumbnail :p
I live 10 minutes away from Blijdorp, and its an amazing zoo
Very COOL!!!
🦒😉👍
Impressive !
I'm not really creative myself so designing habitats isn't really my forte. So I went ahead and recreated this habitat step by step with some minor creative liberties. Turned out really good and learned a lot along the way!
I m f... speechless. Good work, play, like to see more in the future.
I m just right before gettin the feeling to buy me the game
We love Blijdorp
Love it!
Whaaaat? There is a building editor like this? OMG I'm going to buy it today!!!!
Here is a little challenge that force me to rethink my zoo design:
I try to create nice habitat that offer the possibility to breed animal for nature population. You ll see that lot’s of animal sont interact nicely when their own child grows to aldult. After a first arrival of child, I find unetical to breed same familly animal.
The solution is to create much wider habitat but that are separated in three to four section using the invisible fence and cover is cleverly.
What is interresting with it is that it combined a game objective for thé leaves money and an ethical and genetical obligation regarding to animal.
For a touch of humor, giving the girafe à stylish arabic feeling fabergé egg is also a good start 😂👍 always a pleasure to see your creations 😊😊
I like your approach to designing ethical habitats for the animals and how to play the game. While this game has encouraged me to research animals and habitats to see what is best for them, I may fall guilty of running unethical zoos.
While the animals with the strongest of genetics get excellent treatment, I cram animals with poor genetics in tiny pens until the protesters arrive, then i release the tigers.
Awesome content as always, enjoying your Planet Zoo videos!
Heel erg vet gemaakt krijg er alleen maar inspiratie van thanks :)
I used thatch roofs for an indonesian theme. I don't encourage recreating it though. Indonesian architecture has roofs with inverted arches at their middle / highesst point, that straightens out to a flat beam at the lowest point. No dome trick for that, left and right can't even be mirrored, so the general shape of the roof already took me 3 hours to make and fine tune.
Hi Silvarret - I am looking forward to the day you decide to do a Let's Play on Planet Zoo!
Awsome creation love how u use irl stuff. Quick question : any change u will do a kinda artis build? Always loved the way artis has a mix of classical building and more modern stuff.
I'm hoping to make a full zoo at some point with classical/Gothic revival architecture at some point - I suppose that might be quite similar!
Yay giraffes! I didn't get to see any last time I was at a zoo. However a thunderstorm was approaching, and if I were a giraffe I'd avoid a big open field too :p
Really though, giraffes are amazing and I'm so excited to watch this.
This style, fusing contemporary and more traditional elements, reminds me of the Cultural Heritage Centre in Arusha, Tanzania. It's such a strange building, but I think you did a great job here.
Danm you have talent
Soooooo awesome. I love it. :)
Awesome !!!❤️❤️
Wonderful work 🇹🇷🇹🇷
Looks great man! When and if you create a full zoo It would be interesting to see a map corresponding to the zoo made in Photoshop or something. Much love from the Midwest!
loving the new vids! question for ya! my computer is pretty good. when I go crazy making elaborate parks in planet coaster with tons of stuff, it slows down a bit sometimes.... do you find that since planet zoo isn't trying to simulate rides, coaster physics, etc it runs better when your making very elaborate exhibits like this?
Hi, the beige part of your construction, maybe a little bit more organic rooftop finish, no horizontal, faded out more like a web, keep the cover. I love your work
The thatch pieces are also good for viking/saxon buildings. I've been making a viking park in Parkitect, and it's carried over into Planet Zoo.
Very awesome build! ... You might consider to hide the steam overlay while you record. In the steam settings, goto "in-game", then uncheck the box "enable the steam overlay while in-game". So no popup/messages wil appear! (ps you then also cannot make screenshots via steam, so that you know). Hope this helps.
love the build been trying to build stuff myself doesnt look as great as this but hey practis makes perfect. As for the steam notification you can turn them off in the steam friends list under notifications.
There's a book by the photographer Garry Winogrand titled "The Animals" that's defintely worth checking out. His photos explore human animal interactions within a zoo in 1969, which is extremely problematic at some times. Along the exploration of some more serious topics it also gives you a more nuanced look at the (questionable) interesting architectual choices made within the zoo at that time. It's worth checking out.
Cool!
It would be exciting to see sometime, if you have some cool ideas on how to start the zoo, with an entrance and such.
Oh also the pattern is kind of like a giraffe's pattern, which is cool
Gorgeous once again. I love your style of playing this game the most. I definitely feel like the concern about whether or not the zoos in the game are ethical are a bit ridiculous. People do all kinds of horrendous things in video games. I've chased down villagers in Animal Crossing just to beat them over the head with a net, drowned sims in pools, enslaved an entire village in minecraft, organ harvested in rimworld, and nobody bats an eye. Instead of focusing on game zoos, maybe turn their attention to real life zoos and put pressure on them on whether or not they're ethical.
The madlad did it, Silv the Woz.
beatiful
2:19 What type of building do giraffes live in realistically in the natural world though? 🤔
Hm, i think we can safely assume it's a tall building atleast.
@@nekoStrangerJunior either that or a very deep hole 🙁
Awesome building, and if you want to turn off notification,...when you start a game press shift+tab I guess, you will get to steam window and then click on your friends list, next to your name there is arrow, click on it and switch to offline or invisible, this should help
