3D Screensavers

[foozball3000]

I just got myself a pretty nice screensaver from Nvidia, and the idea hit me to take two of my skills and make something worthwhile.

I do a lot of 3D rendering work, and XNA Game programming. So I'm wondering if there's a need for some simple, but awesome screensavers that I can make by combining the two skills?

(Not no make money (unless offered, of course))

Any thoughts?

While having a 3D screensaver might have that 'cool' appeal, personally I don't have a screensaver set, and just set the screen to turn off after 30 minutes.
There is also the side effect of batterylife (on laptops), and general slow down - I don't want to have to wait once I move my mouse, even for a second.
And anyway, if your screensaver has time to turn on then you shouldnt be around to watch it

something organic. abstract, and nice colors.

If you want a 3D screensaver don't make it something like fish/etc, because that gets boring.

Organic!

Solid point... Then it's not worth going out of my way to develop them. But I'll make something happen with my current XNA apps.

Like fungus?
Doesn't that grow on your screen automatically when you leave it alone in TK for more than 5 minutes?
