Watermill 3D Screensaver 2.0 build 7

The 3PlaneSoft-developed application Watermill 3D Screensaver, as its name so adequately points out, is a screensaver. When your computer goes idle, this good looking screensaver will pop up and will display a good looking watermill placed in a beautiful landscape. The screensaver moves around so you can better see the nature, the windmill, and the flow of the water.

Speaking of the water, you can select how you want to see it; you can select how well Watermill 3D Screensaver will display the water. From the Settings window you can choose the water’s level of details : low, medium and high. From the Settings window you can also select if you want Watermill 3D Screensaver to display animated images or stationary images.

From the Settings window you can also disable the sounds and music Watermill 3D Screensaver plays in the background. You can also play with the volume of the music and sounds. Here’s a tip for you – just press the M key when Watermill 3D Screensaver is running and this will mute the sound.
