Make your Own Pens & Pastures for Baby Animals in FS25

Make your Own Pens & Pastures for Baby Animals in FS25

Just before launch of Farming Simulator 25, we thought some more cuteness would be appropriate.

We even had a chat with our Senior Animator Rahul Narode about the adorable animations of newborn and juvenile creatures on four legs. And two legs… because chickens. Check out the interview below. There will be more baby GIFs to hold your attention.

There’s more! We got some information on the animal types and the customization of animalistic living spaces – as you can create custom fences for animal pens. That means more individual farms that focus on animal husbandry. Isn’t that nice?

Make your own pens & pastures

To provide animal farmers more control over the pens, you can customize them by changing colors, adding solar panels, and, more importantly, draw the fences yourself. Customize the layout to create any shape you want, and build pastures around obstacles or occupied space!

Thanks to the animalistic offspring as well as Water Buffalos and Goats joining with Farming Simulator 25, you can expect your animal farm to get way more lively and colorful.

Animals start their life as tiny newborns, then become juvenile, and ultimately productive adults. Let’s take a look at what each animal provides and what you can do with it.

So, who’s responsible for all this animated adorableness? It’s this guy!

First, tell us a bit about you and what you do in general!

I am a Senior Animator at GIANTS Software. I did various animations for Farming Simulator 25, reviewed animations and developed them up to the mark, so they’re up to our required standards, before I integrated them in the game.

When you begin to animate, how do you start, what are the steps?

Before starting animation, I always take time to think about what needs to be done specifically for an animal or what output is required. That means thinking about the characteristics of animals, studying their movements, gathering proper references.

I try to look for video references that show the real animals and their behavior. It requires a thorough study of the animal’s characteristics to achieve every little detail.

When I spot interesting movements to showcase in the game and when I am happy with the collected references, I will start to create the actual animations, followed by multiple stages of revision until they’re up to our standards.

What unique behavior will baby animals exhibit, and what was challenging about it?

Unique behavior would be that they are realistic according to their respective species, but also fast and cute at the same time.

Tiny animals are very quick and tricky to animate, because they are so swift in their behavior. So to catch their every movement or every action is a challenging task, especially in key frame animation.

Do you personally have a favorite type of (baby) animal – and why? 

My favorite in Farming Simulator 25 would be the baby goats because they hop and jump around, which is adorable – I love that playful energy. But in reality, rabbits are my favorite animal. They are so small yet so fast. I love their quick jerks like they are scared but adorable at the same time. And I find their ear movements quite fascinating.

Is there anything else you’d like to tell our fans or let them know? 

We have created a unique game with Farming Simulator 25, and I hope our fans and players will have a lot of fun with it. The whole team has put a lot of effort into making it special!
