I'm not particularly good with blender - but I DID write some code to import blender models into my own apps, so someone could do some models and send them my way

How come we have so many coders, and not a single IV-themed screensaver?

There is a Defcon screen saver, but it is Mac only.

I would buy it, but it would have to go to a lot further towards infinity.

And before xander, Xocrates, and Jelco but in, yes i know that you cant get "closer" to infinity as infinity is not an element of R. It is just a figure of speech.

I'd make a screensaver if I had any idea how they worked.

Google "programming screensaver".

As far as I know, a windows screensaver is just an exe that responds to a few standard command line arguments.
In Linux, I know that you use xscreensaver but not much else.
I have no idea how it's done on macs.

xander's getting softer these days.

As for the screensaver, yeah, you can just use any exe you want (preferably renamed to .scr), and put it in the windows folder (possibly /system32).

I should read up on the command line arguments in question.

I tried using 3ds max to create something similiar, i got the pic to have 32000 darwinians before the program seized

, but it wasn't infinity enough. I wish i knew how to use crowds.

You have not heard the last of this, i WILL get more darwinians. Darwinian control will be TOTAL.

Now just make it into a screensaver where they are all spinning and you'll have somethin there

elexis · Postby **elexis** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 12:27 am

Now THATS total darwinian control!

Just how many are in the picture?

Did you know that if that pic is 100 darwinians long, high and deep, thats 1 MILLION darwinians
:shock:

Thats 100 times the population of darwinia!

Well, there were 45 darwinians inside the mirror box, and I had a raydepth of 10... so I don't know how to calculate it, but there's a hell of a lot.
Also, vic contacted me last week about putting it up on the new website... so I'd expect to see it up there sometime soon.

( am I famous yet?

About 10 minutes with the Blender internal renderer on my stock q6600... from the quick tests I good, I think yafray would have been a lot faster, but the lighting wasn't coming out how I wanted it and I was getting some weird artifacts.
