Fluid is a realtime fluid-dynamics model and rendering engine that uses OpenGL to create the effect of flowing liquid on your screen.

Interesting link, unluckily my modem sucks too much to load a 2,5 MB file. Anyway this thread is more suited for the Software forum.

That is AWESOME. Thanks! Anyone else find a cool ScreenSaver like this? Looks good on my PBG4 12" but I can only imagine what it must look like with the resolution cranked on a 1.42ghz tower.

It is a cool one but boy does it eat up CPU....on my dual 867mhz it eats up %70 of CPU time....it looks cool but when i'm away from my mac i'm not going to see it and so it will only use up CPU time from the apps that need it....if it where around the %20 i would keep it....apart from that cool. <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" />

****ing awesome! A little slow on my iBook, but who cares? My old screensaver was <a href="http://www.cosmosaver.com/"; target="_blank">Cosmo Saver</a>, and I was looking for something new. Great link.

Who else votes for a TweakWaves screensaver?

The glTron screensaver is cool.. what else out there is cool?

I can't get the file to download at all. Anyone want to post it or send it?

Wow! That screen saver makes me want to drop a tab of acid...

I still use <a href="http://illuminex.com/software/screensavers/xirtam.html"; target="_blank">Xirtam</a>, the Matrix screen saver, because it doesn't bog down my lowly iBook/500 with "only" 8MB VRAM.
