Spirit of Fire 3D Screensaver 2.4

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This screensaver turns your PC into a cozy fireside scene, though the demo's rather disruptive nag screen might leave some users with a chilly feeling. Upon launch, you'll see a very realistic fire crackling inside a hearth. As the camera pans in, out, and all around the room, you'll be able to make out other details, such as the clock and other items on the mantelpiece. In particular, we liked the lifelike way the blazing fire casts light around corners of the room. The sound effects and calming piano-based soundtrack fit the program's overall mood like a glove, but you can turn either of them down if you choose. Other customization options include the ability to adjust the gamma; enable glow and desaturation; and choose among a few cameras with adjustable delay. Unfortunately, a large nag screen shows up after one minute and won't go away, putting a serious damper on Spirit of Fire 3D Screensaver. We also should note the application consumes a considerable amount of PC resources, so users with older machines may experience hiccups. In spite of our grumbles, this screensaver still offers enough positives to make it worth considering, particularly during the cold winter months.

Publisher's description

From 3Planesoft :

Spirit of Fire is a fine 3D screensaver that will bring warm and cozy atmosphere of a fireplace burning in a log cabin right inside your office or home. The fire and the fireplace are done remarkably well - the crackling sounds of burning wood, the blinking light, the shadows. Camera moves around the cabin periodically zooming in and out allowing you to see parts of the interior. Great attention is paid to details.
