Matrix Trilogy 3D Code Screensaver - A cool 3D Matrix screensaver


Despite the fact that there are around 5000 Matrix screensavers already out there, I still get requests from people asking me to do one.


I'm not sure if its because there aren't any good ones, or you have to pay for the good ones, or what, but I still get requests. Usually I just insult peoples shoes and send them on their way since I don't want to spend any time doing something that's already been done to death.


But I had an idea a few months back that I'd never seen done before, and still haven't, so yesterday I finally got a blast of inspiration and decided to do it.


I soon worked out why there's so many Matrix code screensavers out there: it's not that hard to do. The effect took me just a few hours to get going. The whole screensaver only took 2 days! (In comparison the "A Very 3D Christmas Screensaver" took about a month of non-stop fiddling)


So whats different about mine? Well I've done something I haven't seen done before, I've made the code 3D. It now slides down the screen not just on a flat plane (altho that option is available) but in 3D. Not only that but I've made it so the code forms pictures. So occasionally you'll get pics from the movie displayed in the code.


Because of the way the picture display works the best way to look at it is to stand back from the screen. If you've got your nosed pressed against it you just wont get the full effect, and you'll have to run out for some Windex to remove the nose smear. I figured this doesn't matter since your screen saver is only going to come on when you're away from your desk anyway.


Altho you'll need a pretty swift PC and video card to run this with tiny glyphs and highest line density, it should run pretty well on anything. Just fiddle with the settings til you find what you like. I've included as many as possible so you can make it work the way you want.


If there's enough response I'll update it with pics for The Matrix Revolutions when they become available.


If you like/hate/chew on/find bugs in/have suggestions for this thing drop me an email.


And as usual the answer to all complaints will be "If you find better, use it. And I don't like your shoes!"


Enjoy!
