Helios (Screensaver) 720p Upload Quality Test

720p version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t39cclsYR9o&fmt=22

The Helios screensaver from Really Slick Screensavers.

Link: http://www.reallyslick.com/

One of the 11 screensavers currently available from reallyslick.com, Helios makes use of attraction/repulsion particle effects and smooth implicit surfaces to achieve what you see here.

First made for Windows, it has been ported to Mac OS and several Linux distros IIRC.

Personally, I found than having 3000 particles moving in a very organized pattern on-screen rather hypnotic, and I prefer this over the 'Solar Winds' screensaver also from Really Slick.

Ran on an old laptop with these specs:
- Pentium M 740 1.73GHz w/ 533MHz FSB
- 2GB DDR2 SDRAM @ 533MHz
- ATI Mobility Radeon X700 Omega 4.8.442 @ 1280x800 32-bit colour
- 160GB Samsung HM160HC IDE HDD
- Windows XP Service Pack 3

Minimal CPU occupation, using about only 15% CPU power on the average on my laptop.

Recorded using FRAPS (Since Helios uses frame buffering, allowing FRAPS to capture it)

BGM is 'Water Nursery' from 'The Forest Show'.

@XxPwn3r117xX Considering that it works fine with my single core laptop with a mobility radeon x700, its no surprise its smooth on yours.

Hmmm, bragging post much? Not a bad laptop though.

@LSDlll I agree, I scanned this with Antivir and NOD32 (two best anti viruses in the world.) And it is clean. Mcadee sucks. No question.

@LSDlll Try one of the Norton Products - NAV, NIS, or N360. I work for them and test their products. We make sure no messaging or alerts disrupt your screensaver, movie, or game. Because we love you. (and we love not being bothered by our own software, too)
