Thanks for the heads up. It might work now.
Earlier I wasn't able to claim it on when I was outside on my mobile (thought it was my connection issue), but when I was back home 30 mins ago and on my desktop, I was then able to claim.

I am getting error in Firefox:
We can’t connect to the server at sonisfiles.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com.

Tried in Chrome and I get:
Sorry but you have hit your download limit for this file.

Looks like attempts to download in Firefox used up my download count.

Sorry about that.

You could try via your Purchase History on Sonniss though there is no guarantees.

Cosmos by Leartes https://cosmos.leartesstudios.com/ has a free section that currently includes 3 environment packages

Stylized Fantasy Provencal
Nova Space Burgers (< 10 days left)
Carpenter's Workshop (< 10 days left)

and a number of other single assets.

BUT

  • It requires you create an account
  • It throws up a "sign-up for mailing list" that I can't seem to close down (unless manipulating the html source)
  • License is unknown
  • Downloading does not make it "Owned" in your library

Edit:
The problem with the mailing list (and other visual problems) only happens for me in Chrome but not e.g. FireFox. It might be a plugin problem.

Awesome thanks! Do you know where I can find the license for these? Doesn't seem to be listed on the store page and can't find it anywhere. Are the free assets allowed to be used in commercial works?

2 months ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

No I can't find the license information for these either. I remain cautious about using these in commercial projects.

I have seen Cosmos using 3 different tiers:

  • Individual
  • Studio
  • Enterprise

It most likely would be the "Individual license" that applies. From their FAQ

Individual License: If you are a developer with an annual revenue of up to $100,000, the Individual License is the perfect fit. This license allows you to access our assets for your individual projects under specific terms.

BUT -- This is not legal advice

Since EPIC soon will introduce FAB, I believe they will make changes to Unreal Engine Market. It might even make unused keys obsolete.
