Title: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on August 07, 2014, 08:31:18 AM
I hope that i don't do folly lolll
On this site: http://xfrog.com/category/samples.html (http://xfrog.com/category/samples.html)
there are many plants in 3D, free for a limited time for somes.
Registration is requested.
And last plants on the page are in 2D.


To use 3D plants on Daz, I take .obj. Packs are often very large.
But transparency map is inversed in color them; so for this, a little passage on photofiltre, photoshop or psp in necessary.
Resize and reorientation of plants is necessary too. I didn't finish this since several weeks lolllll (because after i make on pp2).

This is the obstacle course, but the plants are not bad at all.

Some of them 3d ones are intense so if you have a sub par system build your scene an item at a time and then composite them together.

My system although somewhat robust took forever to render when I used these in a scene.

Hello!
This morning, i have a mail of x-frog, which said that they have new plants in free. They said 148 (if you count plants by pack of 2 or 3).

Post by: Aelin on September 26, 2014, 07:39:08 AM
For these new zips, size is at final of 206Mo! Big packs because tubes are in TIF
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on September 26, 2014, 07:47:44 AM
That would explain the delay for sure....and yes...it took a bit of time to get them...but well worth the wait.... :ty_luv:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on January 06, 2015, 10:21:01 AM
New plants on the same page (https://xfrog.com/category/samples.html)
 :crazysmile:
But pay attention, because often packs come with tga tiff pictures.
And packs in rar, and certains in zip.

Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on January 06, 2015, 12:17:26 PM
Mine didn't take that long at all.   And you want to talk about big.  My backup I'm doing for the Attic/Realms/Castle is showing 218GB....and it says ONE DAY to finish  :tearlaugh: :tearlaugh:

But I bet I'll have it all done by 2 PM my time.  Maybe.... :thud:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on January 06, 2015, 02:57:30 PM
I have a problem because site says:
Error Downloading. Maximum number of connections per user has been exceeded. Please wait a few minutes and try again.
No chance lol
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on January 06, 2015, 03:20:53 PM
I must have got in at the right time.  And I guess my expectations to be done by 2PM are very wrong....I'm not even half way done  :thud:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Jherrith on January 06, 2015, 07:07:51 PM
Got started and added all to the shopping cart then started to download got the error message and then it dumped my entire order and now we have to start all over :ahhhh:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on January 07, 2015, 07:14:38 AM
Error for you too.
For me, it was on "saw..." something. And on other only for the moment. But i have download only 6 packs  :thud:
I think they have many many people who comes in the same moment.

I add that now, i haven't others problems of speed, contrary to others times. Maybe they have a better system for download quickly. But some problems with too many traffic.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Jherrith on January 08, 2015, 05:37:17 AM
Well, my order did take I see now and have been trying to download it, seems to only let me download three at a time before I get the error message , but once the first three are done I can continue, however I believe I got maybe nine downloaded before it just refused to allow me to go any further.

This is so going to take forever to download as I did grab just about everything they had as free, I have so little foliage in my runtimes.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Jherrith on January 08, 2015, 05:37:59 AM
Oh great now it only let me do three this morning :sigh:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: FrahHawk on January 08, 2015, 06:46:14 AM
They do that to restrict the amount of downloads per day, which is a sneaking way of putting the kobosh on freebies downloaders. They're very sneaky, yes??? :yes:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on January 08, 2015, 08:25:39 AM
Wow...I must have hit it at the right moment because I had no problems with downloading them all.  Lucky Me   :woohoo:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on January 08, 2015, 09:35:41 AM
Yesterday at evening, i have less problems.  :yippee: Maybe many complaints to this subjects for these problems.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on January 08, 2015, 09:45:30 AM
Could very well be.....But some sites have a limited bandwidth that rules the downloads.  We do also but it's a large amount so we don't have that problem.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on January 09, 2015, 11:37:25 AM
Return of Error Downloading. Maximum number of connections per user has been exceeded. Please wait a few minutes and try again.  :sigh:
And one of packs has 0 octects  :sigh: I think maybe they have problem.

*****
I retry now for the pack at 0 octets. Now they say
404: FILE NOT FOUND - EXPIRED DOWNLOAD LINK
but i take it with others this week :sigh: And others no this problem for the moment.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Jherrith on January 09, 2015, 06:24:01 PM
I still can only d/l three at a  time which is going to take me forever to finish my order.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on March 03, 2015, 05:16:25 PM
Maybe new packs on this page (http://xfrog.com/category/samples.html)
Take the time to check if you take by the past or no.  :really:  :hypno:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog

Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 12, 2015, 10:05:46 AM
I try to go on Xfrog site, like yesterday. But today, site try to download the "sample page" on my computer.
And the home page says on a white bg: Your server is running PHP version 5.1.6 but WordPress 4.1.1 requires at least 5.2.4.

 :hypno: I understand nothing at this  :hypno:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on April 12, 2015, 10:24:50 AM
Yup...something is wrong over there.  It just takes me to a HTML warning on Chome and no site.

Hopefully they will get it fixed soon.  I'll get a hold of them to see if they are aware of this.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 12, 2015, 10:27:17 AM
Ok, and thanks for your answer. It's "a good think" if we can say this to be not alone in this situation.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on April 12, 2015, 10:36:59 AM

Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on April 12, 2015, 10:43:43 AM
I went to there FB page and left a message.  Then went to the Wordpress  Support page and it's nothing we can change on our end.  It has to do with Servers and not Software or puters.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 12, 2015, 10:57:42 AM
Yes, and it's not a good think with this story of servers  :sigh: Maybe a change in the next week. We see.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 12, 2015, 02:09:23 PM
Ok, i see now the homepage  :crazysmile: But not this: http://xfrog.com/category/samples.html (http://xfrog.com/category/samples.html)
And the link is this for new freebies  :sigh: Now, when i come on page, always a thing proposes to load on my pc  :hypno:
Same for the shop
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on April 12, 2015, 02:42:37 PM
When I see things like that popping up I stay away....No freebie is worth the risk of messing up the puter....
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 12, 2015, 02:48:56 PM
I'm agree, but it's good to see a little if they arrange or not their site. Look a few on the good way.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 13, 2015, 08:08:04 AM
Today, i try a new time the freebies page, and all seems ok now  :yippee:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on April 13, 2015, 08:09:41 AM

Hey, for the Earth's day, xfrog gives a free tree. See on this page (http://xfrog.com/category/samples.html) , and you find just after the banner the European Hop Hornbeam.

Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 22, 2015, 08:47:39 AM
You're welcome. But be patient, because i think many people download in the same time. Around 25 minutes for the download for my part  :thud:
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 23, 2015, 11:50:13 AM
Ok, i go now on the page and the free pack is always there. But perhaps only for few time.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: thelufias on April 23, 2015, 12:21:25 PM
Actually mine downloaded pretty quickly ...... Nice one for sure....
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 24, 2015, 07:34:56 AM
I go on xfrog and i see this message:

Xfrog Samples Temporarily Disabled

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Post by: thelufias on April 24, 2015, 08:34:28 AM
The owner got a hold of me yesterday and I guess they didn't realize their site was having problems again and thanked me for making them aware of that.  Not sure what is going on now.  But maybe a fix is being done.
Title: Re: Freebies on xfrog
Post by: Aelin on April 24, 2015, 08:39:04 AM
With this message, probably a fix yes. A good thing;  :ty: to prevent them yesterday. I hadn't see problem when i went on site.

The list of packs has changed on xfrog. Check your runtimes, and take care, because often packs are heavy.
