Ark Nova Animal Tokens

thingiverse

Yet another set of extra unnecessary animal pieces for Ark Nova… Inspired by klaun86’s animal markers (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5490219), this is a collection of 4 different styles of animal markers to be used to populate your zoo maps and give it a bit more shape and colour (especially if you’re using 3D Kiosks and Pavilions). I’ve labelled the four different styles as Disks; Statues; Figures; and Coins (see the picture). -Disks are designed to lay flat or stand up. My friends don’t particularly like this design, but you might. -Statues are the silhouettes from the animal tags on a circular base. This is the style which I prefer. Some of the statues require supports. -Figures are the same as Statues, but without the base and are a bit bigger. Note, for the birds figures, I’ve made a true version to the silhouette, as well as a flat-bottom and slant-bottom version to enable the figure to stand without falling over… I found the slant-bottom to look best, but all three are included. -Coins mimic the animal tags themselves, and look really nice if colour-swapped with white on the top few layers. This is the style most of my friends prefer, and I don’t blame them.

Update (5 June 2023): In advance of the "Marine Worlds" expansion hitting the streets, I have found a few images of the new symbol (Aquatic), and have added the Statue, Coin, and Figure things. Disks didn't work so well with this symbol, so was not included.
