The Frog base set has two species of Frogs in it; the California Red-legged Frog and the European Common Frog. Both species have two material variations, the browner more common coloring of the frog and a greener version. I'm also working on the Volume I add-on which will probably be out 1-2 weeks behind the base set. That set will have 6 additional Frog species.
The Frogmouth set is one of my favorites from the Songbird ReMix series... Once I get some more frogs species done, I'll have to do an image using both the frog and the bird... I had to check my field guide, but yes, frogs are on the Frogmouth menu.
In sorting through the renders I've done over the last year, I found a half-done render in which Poser crashed (and unfortunately I didn't save the scene prior to that). I'll share it here just because it shows how big that Frogmouths mouth really is...
Maybe, I'll have to recreate this image and re-render it again...

My first sight of a frogmouth was a group picture of three, all of which had their mouths open...I remember thinking, " My God what an ugly creature"..But they are a beautiful little bird, they really are..About losing a render due to not saving, I would like to say how foolish and stupid this behavior is, You would think a person would have the presents of mind not to do such silliness..and one of these days I will stop doing it myself... As it is I am still talking bad about myself for doing it the last time, even stopped talking to myself for a time I was so angry..lol

Such a fun idea for a picture Ken!
LOL Carey. I'm glad I've never done that!

Here's a test render of the Rice Field Frog (South Asia), the first of six in the Frogs of the World V1 add-on I'm working

wonderful!
Thanks everyone... here's another new one... the Great Barred Frog of Australia. As with most frogs, there are much plainer looking versions of this species-- I choose one of the flashier ones.
I went to bed one night, had just snuggled down and my husband leapt out of bed with an great yell, being scared of spiders I didn't know whether to follow him or stay still (because a huntsman immediately came to mind). He put the light on and a little froggy that looked just like that one was one my pillow. I asked hubby what all the fuss was about, it was a cutie, he said its not so cute when a cold wet thing lands in the middle of your chest in the dark (took forever to try and catch it to take it back outside)

lol... great story! My wife had me take care of a 10 cm house centipede last night that was on the wall by her pillow (she thought that was less cute)
