DIGIMINDS 3D Screensavers
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Most are pretty, high-quality and entertaining screensavers. Earth 3D Space Survey is impressive, engaging and educational. Easy to install and set as the default screensaver.
Some will run slow and jerky on older hardware (MildWinter, Aqua 3D & Future City 3D), even if you have a lot of RAM memory installed on your computer.
Digiminds has produced good quality, engaging 3D screensavers. Some are better than others though. The MildWinter screensaver for instance is slow on my older laptop. Even though I have 2Gb RAM memory on my machine, I was not able to get smooth performance and could hardly see the snow rendered at all on my machine with this screensaver. The image movement was jerky and slow. This slowness I also experienced with the Future City 3D screensaver. The other screensavers, most notably the 3D Canyon Flight, Seastorm, Space Plasma and Earth 3D Space Survey are really entertaining and engaging works of art. With 3D Canyon flight and 3D Space Survey screensavers in particular I found myself staring at the scenery and high detail, not wanting to miss out on any of the action. I must say the installers are very straightforward for all the screensavers and make it very easy for the user to install and immediately set the screensaver being installed as the default screensaver. It is just a quick 3-step process to install Digiminds screensavers (including an optional tickbox at the end to take you to their website to download more of them). Some of the screensavers like Earth 3D Screensaver and MildWinter 3D, have more advanced settings dialogs to display a 12/24 hour clock, change the screensaver resolution, speed and select details to be displayed, as well as antialiasing of fonts and display the graphics card performance by optionally choosing to display FPS (frames per second) of the screensaver as it is running. In conclusion, I have to say that overall the screensavers are of high quality and visually stunning (depending on the graphics card and computer hardware you possess). Earth 3D Space survey is amazing and could also be used as an educational tool with the amount of factual information displayed (once the camera speed is slowed down). It is astounding to see so much high quality detail and effects being displayed neatly on one screensaver. Overall, you will not be disappointed with Digiminds screensavers.
High quality, entertaining and stunning graphics on most screensavers will keep you staring at the screen, though be careful to try before you buy to ensure your chosen screensaver will run smoothly on your computer, particularly if you have older hardware (especially graphics card), you may experience slow, jerky performance with two or three of the screensavers.
