Science Screensaver
Well i would gladly attach the file into this post, but the forum has those damn file size limitations and the preset+bitmap+ape are over 200kb in a zip :(

So instead you should download it from DeviantART

Those who don't know, the next pack i will be making is Bitmapped II.

I'll attach a screenshot if you want to look it before downloading (or not downloading) from deviantart, since deviantart can be a murder for those with slow connections...

page won't load...something's wrong with deviantart atm. you could just use picture II and a .jpg, tho

Yup same here:
"The page cannot be displayed"
I triple cecked.

Check this out :

System Maintenance
deviantART is currently performing some quick system maintenance. Please come back in 5 minutes.

-> i got it after 20 minutes too :) The screenshot looks great...i wonder how will the preset be.

I got it... great idea tug, very very nice, most original thing ive seen all day, you continue to impress me.

Wow, very nice tugg. Love the AVS window being in there too. I wish I had come up with this idea first.

Atero, i do use Picture II, but for some strange reason i can't load any jpegs... i just thought that because it's a "development" version that it didn't had jpeg support yet...

Thanks for the comments guys, i just wish i could do the swirling thing... then it would be perfect :)

ever heard of a gif? or a png? or mng? or pict? the list goes on... :p
i'd download the preset but i'm pressed for time right now, i'll get it when i get back home (promise ;) )

deviant art is always having technical problems...i think it's high time someone, ah, smarter took over the operation :hang:

Yeah, even when deviant art is up and running it takes 10 seconds to load a page(with a cable modem).


5th February 2003 21:26 UTC

wow, you get them in only ten seconds? :rolleyes:


5th February 2003 21:49 UTC

On a good day, yes. On a bad day(even with my cable modem) it can take 30seconds. The way DA sets up their site is terrible for speed. Just take a look at the source for one of the pages. Scary.

That's a clever preset, which really looks like the science screensaver. I especially like the fact that the AVS window is functioning, since it gives the effect that the view is of a real computer desktop, and not some static image file.

That is a really inovative preset. I like it very much.
