Halloween Screensaver - Release

This is the Release of my Halloween Screensaver.
It was done in 2-3 weeks between 22-2 o'clock in the night.
So it's a "just for fun" project and it's for free!

Trees, plants, leafs are NOT selfmade, they are from free model resource sites.
Music and the sound effects are from free websites (sorry, forgot the url)

Here are some shots:

Good work Chris,

I really like this screen saver. There is a strange buzz when the screen savers reverts back to the desktop.

Is there anything you can do to fix that. Maybe stop the sound before you exit. The buzzing sounds drives my dog nuts.

Thanks for this fun lil application,

Ken

That was very impressive! Nice job.
One comment: At one point, the pumpkin's stem was glowing (with the fire). -shrugs-

I dont have any buzz when exiting the screen saver. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey that looks cool, i really like the little ghosts, they look cute ^^

but maybe you should change the "ChrisB" on the Gravestone in a more evil/old "font" ^^',i think you know what i mean


(sorry for my bad english ;P)

This is no ordinary screensaver, it will not only save my screen from burning, it will also save my screen by scaring people away from it!
Very nicely done! I love the music and the lightning + effects.

This one is really cool!

I like the cute ghosts and 'eyes in the dark'.

The lighting effect of the pumpkin is absolutely gerat!

Sometimes the light-shadow-difference of the trees looks a bit to strong, but I guess you need it for the grass on the ground, so it really doesn't matter.

All in all, very good work.

At the beginning of the screensaver there is a horrible sound error (the speakers "rauschen") and after one second the screensaver disapperas (I did nothing!)...

Thx for the positive comments.
Hm i don't know where the buzz comes from.
@robertternes: Hm maybe you must install the ogg vorbis codec again.

BTW: you can find the pumpkin and ghost model under User Constributions.

Very Cool and with no problems for me.

Sieht irgendwie merkwuerdig aus auf meiner ATI Radeon 9700 und Win XP SP1.
Gras und Baumstaemme haben eine Grundfarbe und normale Lichteffekte aber keine oder kaum Texturen.

Du meinst so?



Win98, XP1600+, Gf4TI 64MB DDR

Ich hab von diesem Erscheinungsbild bereits erfahren, ich kann es aber in keinster weise nachvollziehen. Es werden KEINE shader oder Texturestage auf die Texturen angewendet. Die Texturen sind alle entweder tgas mit Alpha oder normale pcx und haben größen von 2er Potenzen. Also alles absolut standart.

Allerdings muss ich sagen das ich um den großen Kontrast und Dunkelheit zu gewinnen ich ziemlich grasse material settings vorgenommen habe, ebenso die Sonnenstärke, die mir hier als universall Mondlicht dient .

Allerdings kann ich nicht glauben das dadurch die Texturen verschwinden. Scheinbar hängt es auch nich mit nVidia oder Ati zusammen.
Hat jemand denn schonmal was änliches bemerkt???

Genau so !

@ChrisB: Wenn moeglich wuerde ich mir gerne mal den Quelltext anschauen und verschiedene Materialparameter ausprobieren um zu sehen woran es liegt.
