Rixane Interactive provides us with yet another great screensaver for your Windows-based PC. This one is sure to get those space enthusiasts interested, and anyone else who wants to have such a beautifully detailed, fully three dimensional screensaver on their computer. The Earth 3D screensaver combines innovative graphical technologies and photorealistic artwork to form an incredibly detailed scene of the Earth as seen from an orbital perspective. A must have for anyone who wants to have such an impressive and awe-inspiring image on their computer.

What's more, unlike many of the free, very cheap or older screensavers out there, it also takes complete advantage of your graphics card, though you do not need to have an extremely powerful machine to be able to run it to its maximum potential. The screensaver is optimized for higher resolutions, allowing you to get the best out of your monitor whether it is a flat panel or an older CRT monitor. It has been programmed to run on any version of Windows, from Windows 98 and right up to Windows 7. It will work on both 32 bit and 64 bit OSs as well.

Amongst its abundance ...
... of features, this beautiful new space screensaver not only gives you a great view of the Earth as watched from orbit, but also shows you day and night cycles, with the sun visible in the back drop. In the areas of the world in night, you will be able to see the lights of the major cities. This makes it really look like the same view you would see from the International Space Station, or indeed, exactly as Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space, would have seen it.

The Earth is a spectacular and colourful object in the solar system and with the weather patterns including clouds and storms all clearly visible from space, this screensaver also uses these features for enhanced realism and astounding effect. The background of stars is also impressive, showing you how the night sky looks from space, without the atmospheric and light pollution on Earth to cloud the view.

The screensaver certainly offers quite a fascinating and inspiring panorama, bringing to life the greatness of space. It will work perfectly on any resolution, though the higher the resolution that your monitor supports, the higher quality the image will appear. It does not have high system requirements, but you will need to have a computer that has a video card supporting Pixel Shader 2 and you will need to have DirectX 9 installed on your computer. This should not be a problem for the great majority of computer users.

You may also download trial versions if you are not yet convinced. The Earth 3D Screensaver only costs a modest sum of $17.95, but it is a small sum to pay for something so artistically and amazingly rendered. Undoubtedly one of the best and most photogenic screensavers you can find, it is well worth taking a look at it today.
