Fireside Christmas 3D Screensaver

When you think of Christmas, most probably you think of snow, Christmas trees, presents, stockings, globes, and the warmth of knowing your entire family is drawn together. Fireside Christmas 3D Screensaver capitalizes on that by bringing several of the elements mentioned above together, and much more.

All the elements we now associate with Christmas are mixed up to create a wonderful holiday atmosphere. And if that weren't enough, the realistic 3D rendering that was done adds to the realistic feeling this screensaver wants to deliver. Everything from the seems of the stockings to the textures of the Christmas globes and decorations react perfectly under the influence of the light, while the Christmas tree branches and the flickering candles might make you say "Merry Christmas" despite being the middle of July.

The familiar blending of gold, red and green further cement this screensaver as a must-have on your PC, especially around the winter holidays. The fire itself also benefits from high-quality rendering, both in the fireplace but also the candles above. Like most of the other screensavers created by this developer, this one also has a clock that blends in with the overall theme. Its purpose is to remind you not to spend too much time admiring the beauty of this animated wallpaper.

Like all the other screensavers made by this developer, the "Settings" menu can be accessed from the screensaver manager. There you can change the screen resolution and aspect ratio, enable or disable high-quality textures or the sounds and music. If you're running the app on a more powerful system, you can also choose to add hot air effects, pixel shaders and, for those using a multi-monitor system, you can make this app run on all your monitors at once.

Fireside Christmas 3D Screensaver is a nice addition to any PC, especially during the winter holidays. It boasts great graphics, a nice soundtrack that will bring out the Christmas spirit, and it doesn't put a load on your system.
