There is a program called A.P.E.(Animal Project Editor) It is available to download at several online locations. I think we have it available here at the Lounge but I'm not positive. Other Zoo fan sites should have it. As for how to use the program, the Lounge here has a whole forum devoted to A.P.E.

Welcome to the Lounge!

Niebi shows the APE tutorial section. I would recommend reading "Read Before Asking Questions!, Common APE Questions" in that section first. That section says where to get APE. (I recommend the second site listed since they have been the most active.) Since APE is at other sites, it is not at this site.

I also recommend creating a simple piece of scenery first. That will get you familiar with getting graphics in and out of APE. Then you can move to animals. The other sections in the APE area will give other pieces of advice.

If you have questions as you work on your creations, feel free to ask in that area. Or, if you want opinions on things you are working on, you can ask for opinions in the "New Animals/Objects - Discussion" area.

Good luck and have fun!
