3D Screensaver for my viewing pleasure

[Summo]

Hello, forum chums!

I require your collective services. I want a flashy 3D screensaver for the benefit of my eyes, and I wondered if any of you could point me in a fruitful direction. My needs are specific, so pay attention:

Yes please, to...

• GPU/CPU intensive. I want my new ss to look the nuts.
• Full 3D rendering with mip mapping and texture blah blah. See point above.
• 'Natural' theme. Fish, ocean life, landscapes with moving clouds are all good.
• Soothing.

No ta, to...

• Futuristic rubbish featuring fantasy worlds and spaceships, unless its particularly impressive.
• Bouncing spheres and mirror-type tosh.
• Cash changing hands

I once had set of groovy ocean life screensavers which were very impressive and soothing, but after a few minutes a big sign with details of where I could pay would pop up and ruin my karma.

If it matters, I'm running Windows XP on a 1.4GHz CPU, GeForce 4 Ti4400 and 512MB RAM.

Any suggestions?

Anyone?

There was a pretty impressive Fishtank one i seen in college, i think i have got it somewhere onmy Hard Drive

 

[Summo]

Atta boy, SG! That's the positive attitude I was looking for! Not like these eco-freaks.

I leave my monitor on when I go out, and let the screensaver kick in (3d Text).

I'm a power eating cunt0x tbh.

 

[Wilier]

At home, my monitor turns itself off.

At work, were not allowed screensavers. We just have ConocoPhillips flashing around all over.

Less gay threads?

Seriously though maybe you should try the old HP fish thing

(less gay threads would be good though.....)

 

[Summo]

Hmm... not quite what I'm after, but thanks.

Now get the hell out.

It's not a screensaver, but it'll keep your eyes happy for a while, and use your shiny 4400 card at the same time.

It's the nVidia Wolfman demo.

It is 30 meg though, but a great way to show that card off.

Its totally what you're looking for. I mean were you expecting me to read the whole damn sentance or something?

Yeesh

(the campaign for less gay threads are on there way to your house btw)

 

[S-Gray]

right, i was unable to find the Screensaver on any of my Disc' or hard Drive, but i did find a website to download it from, its only a Trial Version but you will probably like it heh

Fishy Fishy Fishy

 

[Summo]

Thanks, SG but it's riddled with SpyWare.

Tried that Werewolf thing too. Impressive but limited playability.

What about this

http://www.serenescreen.com/download/index.asp

It is a trial of the Screensaver that comes with the XP plus pack but you can obtain the serial from the typical sources...

 

[S-Gray]

They make all the flippin things identical

Heh oops.. i give you bad one

<Homer> D'oh!</Homer>

 

[Miles_Binck]

I've got the Matrix screensaver happily running away on my 'puter, its not high-end or GFX intensive, but if you stare at it long enough you can see....

Well, I wont spoil it

I could send you an excerpt from Briana Loves Jenna that you could turn into a screensaver if you want?

 

[WPKenny]

That serenescreen one is the one I have on my pc at work and at home. I love it. You can choose what fish it does or get it to choose them at random. And it's got a star fish.

That'll do nicely! Thanks very much.

Like those MX5 wallpapers too, Cama.

 

[Trem]

Did you get mine Summo, and did it work?

 

[old.Jas]

Bah! Screensavers eat valuable processor time that could be used for much, much more valuble thing like.... uhm... searching for aliens in outer space!

 

[Munkey-]

oooooohhhhh. linkage miles?

 

[Yaka]

Da bad ARSE Dodge is a top screen saver but you will need a beefy setup to run it

Heh. I had to fart about in the registry to force Outlook to let me open .exe attachments, but yeah. I got it. Not quite what I had in mind.

Nice car, Yaka but the SereneScreen Aquarium is the dadda at the moment.

 

[old.Jas]

SereneScreen Aquarium is good. The water sound on surround sound is great - kinda makes me want to goto the loo though
