Hi!
I would like to create a screensaver. The idea is to take a 2d-image, transform it to a 3d-image, define some effects and let it then run as a screensaver! I know: This is more then one step. However, I would like to comes to result without programming if possible.
Any ideas? Please let me know!
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean, but how do you plan on writing a screensaver without doing some programming?
Anyway, if you want to know how to write a screensaver (though it does involve some programming) I have a VC++ appwizard I wrote that will give you the starting framework. You can find it at http://www.lycanth.com/OpenGL/Demos/ScreenSaver2.zip
John, that’s a great screen saver, I use it all the time (when not using my computer that is). The more effective screen saver I know of. And it must be the easiest screen saver you can write, requires only one key press.
as you can see, i don’t have to move to my screen anymore to press the key there, i have a link directly in the shortcutbar(or how ever called thingy there…)
and, to get back from this mode, i can simply move my trackball or press any key…
now you got impressed!
btw, about screensavers… how about looking at the newest newspost on this very page?
When I said screes saver, I was of course talkning about power save mode, not a simple black screen. But placing the monitor in power saving mode is not the same as turning it off with the power switch (or unplugging the cables as davepermen suggested).
In that case, wouldn’t take to much work to make a screen saver activated Black&Decker weed wacker to pull the plug for you and give you a hair cut at the same time.
