Gee!Download ElectropaintOSX 0.2 : 134,013 byte Disk Image (dmg)
ElectropaintOSX is an OS X screensaver module port of Kent Rosenkoetter's clone of SGI's Electropaint™ screensaver.
Electropaint™ is a US Trademark of Tristram Visual, www.tristram.com
Coming across this implementation of Electropaint™ really brought me back to the days of working on an Indigo2 at my old job. Many a minute was wasted zoning out to this screensaver. Kent's implementation mirrors the fluid animation of the original extremely well.
This port merely wraps Kent's OpenGL code in an OS X screensaver module using Objective-C++. The source is included and released under the General Public License.
For the 0.2 version, modifications for antialiasing, VBL, and parameter tweaking has been done by Vincent Fiano <ynniv-ep AT ynniv.com>. The screensaver now runs much smoother and has a smoother look! Thanks Vincent!
This screenshot (version 0.1) does not do the hypnotic undulating animation justice:
