Once again there are freebies at xFrog

http://xfrog.com/category/samples.html?utm_source=160+Free+Plants&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2015+January+Sale

I like the flowery ones, considering that I only use Bryce is it better for me to download the obj files or the 3DS files.

Thanks


Edited: I'm having problems to post in the Show us your render thread, is anyone having the same problem.

Edited: to edit link to xFrog

    I normally just download the .obj file and import them into Bryce. Would the.3DS files have been better?

    I always use the OBJ as well. I have found some 3ds files can be problematic, have never tried XFrog ones though

    I concur with Sandy and Pam.

    Thanks Sandy, Pam and Horo. Although there are many freebies from xFrog from time to time, I don't normally download them, but I think I should do so now, awesome trees for free.

    Something strange is happening here.
    When I click on mermaids link in the first post it goes to my Gmail inbox.

    Same here, Stuart...found the xfrog freebies (if these are the ones mentioned?).

    PS. I wish this DAZ site would allow one to LMB/click a link that then opens a separate page (I know some may not like it, but I hate having to back-button again to get back to DAZ) without RMB/Open in new window etc.

    Hold the CTRL button down and LMB click and it should open in a new tab. Right click gives a drop down menu letting you choose where you want to open or save the page.

    Ah yes, thanks Fishtales...I knew that one, but that involves another hand movement...sigh, the effort :)
    No, what I want is to just LMB/click the link. I've looked up the UBB code for adding in a link that might do the same, but can't find something that works (e.g. [exturl=]the link here[/exturl] There's probably a simple answer to it...will keep looking.

    I didn't know that one, Sandy. But since I always give a target to a link, I can control in what window/tab it opens.

    Horo, you know the way you include the code ['url=][/url'] when adding a link, however, is there code for, say, adding the link (in DAZ here) that when the viewer LMB/clicks it, it will then open in a separate window while keeping open the DAZ page, too. Or, is this down the lines of when DAZ stopped allowing us to include YouTube, viewable, vids (on the DAZ page) before they changed it some years back.

    Right click on any link and you get an option to open in either new tab or new window.

    I hate it when I click on a link then close the window and find I have closed the forum down too because I forgot to hold the CTRL button. The other thing that annoys me is the colon/right bracket causes the raised eyebrow smiley instead of the smiling one which is the normal everywhere else, having to remember to click the minus sign in between is a pain :-) The raised eyebrow one always makes me think the poster isn't really being serious :)

    Never heard of xFrog. Thanks tons for the link. I've saved to my favs.

    Yeah, Fishtales, know what you mean...it can make one :coolgrin: (this is the coolgrin smiley , which wants to represent itself as being angry :) The Smiley link/options beside the comment box saves mistakes, though.

    And as I'm ranting...heh he...why is it that when you want to change the color of text to, say, red, and then you also want to change another piece of text as red, that you just can't do it - you have to choose another color, and then re-type that piece of text color's name as red again in the code, so as it apppears red.

    Is anyone else having problems downloading the new free plants in obj format? I got about 75% OK but several of the downloads are empty (0Kb) zip files for me even though I tried several times.

    I have just checkout all the trees and so far I did not have any problems, but I have only downloaded the 1st five in the list, my connection is very slow so it will take maybe the whole day or till tomorrow to download them all.

    Did you checkout the ones you want? If you don't have an account with xFrog use the express checkout, that's what I used. Then you will get an invoice with the download links.

    However, I had already guessed. You need to register!
    But I do not want to. We'll go the other way. :)
    I have to disk a lot of plants Xfrog, but in a format xfr (most of all), c4d, and 3ds (but small). And do not installed the appropriate program.

    I downloaded them all a few days ago. It will only allow three to be downloaded at a time then you have to wait about ten minutes before it allows another three, and so on. Most are .zip files but there are one or two .jar files mixed in.

    After checking out I use the links in the email invoice to download them when it arrives.

    Fishtales: Did you check the files after you downloaded them? In my case the file will actually download but then it will be a zero Kb file. The ones that downloaded as empty files for me were: Red Maple, Incense Cedar, Rainbow Cactus, Mediterranean Fan Palm,, Japanese Walnut, Sweet Birch, Horse Chestnut, Blooming Judas Tree, European Hackberry, Carnation, Fruit Peach, and Poppy Anemone. The others all downloaded as good files.

    Just checked there are no zero files showing and the ones I opened all had content.

    Although I haven't tried unzipping them, all the ones I downloaded (whichever from the 3D list I didn't already have) all show non-zero values. However in the past with downloads of anything from anywhere, I occasionally have problems and have to redownload, so I'd suggest just trying the zero-length ones again, hopefully they will work on the 2nd try.
