DreamScene - Not what i hoped to be.
DreamScene - Not what i hoped to be.
Thursday, March 22, 2007 by g_ij_s | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
When dreamscene was first announced i thought it was some sort of wallpaper that uses your 3d graphicscard to render the content.
I'm dissapointed that's it's not
Dreamscene is just a videoplaying on the background. Not really special i think. I had this working on Windows 98 a while back.
Vista uses a new way to render the desktop and i'm puzzled that this isn't used.
What where the reasons not to go for 3D animation and instead simply use video's ? Or is it both supported and are there not any real animation dreams present ?

Ugh the lowest I've ever seen it for any dream (and I've ran just about all of them) is about 30% (normally the Stardock dreams fall in this range). Average is about 40%. Some dreams run me up as high as 50% or more (I think one poorly encoded dream had me chugging 70%, but I've only seen it that high for 2 or 3 dreams).

You make very good points Niel, and I'm having a hard time finding some way to argue against them. I suppose only time will tell - but as unlikely as it sounds, here's to hoping the final version does *something* to my horrible cpu usage.
