Has anyone used Bryce to make a Windows Vista DreamScene file? Here's some more info... http://dream.wincustomize.com/index.aspx I have yet to do this and been wondering about it.

One dreamScape with a shark swimming around your screen is 19MB... for a desk top image.. That a lot... for me... I'm still on XP... I'll get Vista on my next dream machine.... :)

True, it is rather large.
I've been influenced a lot with xEarth (http://hewgill.com/xearth/) (included image). I've always wanted to have a sun traveling across a sky on the desktop, left to right, but timed so that the sun's position changes every hour. From sunrise to sunset, the sky changing hues, etc. I've thought to make a program for it, but never went beyond paper. So this dreamscape thing has me wondering about this then.

These are awesome, though my only concern would be that Vista is already a memory monster and incorporating more usage into wallpaper will drain your resources that much more.

Thanks ICM. That's just xEarth.. it's a Windows port of a Linux app. It has two views of Earth, shows positions of various cities, you can enter new ones if you know the latitude/longitude coordinates. The yellow are earthquakes, the big one is one that happened in Japan this past January or Feb. The map moves.. it is updated relative to the position of the sun. So as the hours pass you will see map shift. It's a nice little app that I've been using for years.
