Been messing around in a cool little 3D app at work called Anark today & made this while experimenting and was pretty pleased with the results and so, thought i'd release it to the community. Hope its ok to post it...

Its fully animated with 3d smoke and other FX

To many ******* images i think lol.

Awsome screensaver though.
 
this is very pretty - it makes the far cry screen saver look poor
It may even convince me to remove my community spirited seti one

:thumbs:
 
why exactly does this screensaver try to connect to the internet?
 
pretty sweet screensaver, it will probably grace my screen for awhile
 
norton internet security pops up "this application is trying to connect to the internet"
 
Select "always allow this program to connect to the internet".
You may want to change the strictness of filtering on your firewall.
No idea why it's trying to connect in the first place though! Didn't for me.
 
i know how to make it work, but i want to know why it is trying to connect to the internet. it seriously shouldn't be sending or receiving anything.
it works fine if you set it to "always block" anyway.

nice screensaver though.

Could you ever do this? I've been here since the first announcement last year and I don't think I've ever seen the use of img tags...

Back on topic though, thanks for the screen saver...very cool!
 
erm, if you don't know why, don't let it! My scanner tried to connect when I first installed it - go figure. Just deny it access and it won't bother you again.
 
Cant think why it would try to connect to the net, but jst block it if it does, Anark sometimes trys to check for updates
 
err... How do I install it? I double clicked on it and it just showed it till I hit ESC...

Very nice screensaver and wallpaper.
But I have vowed to not use screensavers because they use up too much cpu power. I also happen to like my default wallpaper very much.

It's blue. :)
 
yes, i need all my cpu power when i am not at the computer =\
 
Isn't that kinda like a dust storm instead of fog, w/e, i'm still using it, its nice

hmm very weird...i tried right clicking it and clicking "install"...brought up Display>Screen Saver but in the box to choose the screensaver...it was blank...nothing new in the screen saver list either

tried putting the file in windows/system32...same thing...

and no im not a "noob" i just dont mess with screensavers much :)

edit:
Er, no. Never ever do that unless you know why the program would need net access. A screensaver should not be asking, that's a bit disturbing.

erm....hope the screen saver doesnt contain a trojan =|

hope brisck didnt get a trojan somewhere and it attached itself to the screensaver or something =\ that would be disasterous
 
Select "always allow this program to connect to the internet".
