3D fish, hummingbirds, dragonflies, butterflies and parrots come alive in this stunning waterfall view set framed by a jungle backdrop. The 3D Living Waterfalls 3 screensaver captures the beauty of a waterfall and the exotic nature of a jungle.
In the early days of home computing the best screensaver was the one which saw you flying through black space with stars streaming past, but this looks virtually ancient compared to the graphically complex 3D screensavers you can get today to help preserve the integrity of your monitor when you are away from your PC. Here are just some of the best 3D screensavers available to download in 2012.
3D Lightning Storm Screensaver
Not every screensaver needs to portray a relaxing pastoral scene or a cute animal at play, as this option proves. Neptune is clearly angry as he is choosing to toss ships about on an undulating ocean, throwing up tidal waves and twisters to frighten any man. If you want to get that sinking feeling every time you return to your computer then this is the 3D screensaver for you.
3D Tropical Sunsets Screensaver
Showing the calmer side of ocean life, you can enjoy sail boats cutting swiftly across your view as you look out at remote islands and beachside cityscapes. Just look out for the cheeky seagulls ducking in and out of the frame as they hunt for the unseen marine life below the surface, or head off to scavenge some unsuspecting tourist's ice cream.
3D Living Fireplace Screensaver
It is an old joke to have a fireplace filling the only moderately warm display of a TV or computer monitor, but it is still good fun to see logs roaring away in the hearth and think about times in the past when this has been the only thing keeping you warm long into the night. An array of different mantelpieces and surrounding fire paraphernalia will keep you entertained.
3D Dinosaurs Screensaver
Scaly-skinned predators prowl across your screen in this 3D animated screensaver, as well as soaring improbably through the sky above smouldering volcanoes and red rock land which looks impossibly alien given the fact that it depicts a planet on which we all still live. If you keep the speakers turned up then you can hear a roaring T-Rex marking its territory, although forget about it for a while and you could get a shock!
Under the Sea 3D Screensaver
There are plenty of aquatic screensavers but this is one of the few which features panning shots as life beneath the waves swarms in front of your eyes. From tropical fish to skulking sharks, this is an attractive and multi-faceted 3D screen saver.
3D Mountain Lakes Screensaver
The mirror clear and millpond calm surfaces of these various alpine lakes are only disturbed by the occasional leaping fish and light showers from the heavens. One of the most scenic and scintillating selection of animated 3D images you could hope to find.
Desktop computers can still surpass the way a high end handset like the iPhone deals with screensavers, so those who truly want to customise their experience stick to a PC.
