The Big Cypress Habitat is a cypress swamp environment perfect for the Songbird ReMix birds, Nature's Wonders creatures and other animal models. As its name suggests, this model set is based upon the Big Cypress National Preserve located in southern Florida. The freshwater of the Big Cypress Swamp, essential to the health of the neighboring Everglades, supports the rich marine estuaries along Florida's southwest coast. Protecting over 729,000 acres of this vast swamp, Big Cypress National Preserve contains a mixture of tropical and temperate plant communities that are home to a diversity of wildlife, including the elusive Florida panther.
The habitat prop comes in four different renderer versions; Firefly for Poser 10+, Superfly for Poser 11+, 3D Delight for DAZ Studio 4.6+ and Iray for DAZ Studio 4.8+. All the plants are available as individial standalone props. There are also multiple alternate materials available.
