3D Fish Tank Simulator
Very nice looking simulator that you can use as a screen saver or a stand alone. The wooden fish tank hutch has a fluorescent light with realistic looking fish. Many variables allow you to control such things as the viewing angle, fish, airstones, plants, rocks, backgrounds and gravel.

It's a very
nice utility. It gives the user alot of control and it seems
like we will have more control over things in later versions.
It's a good utility to play with for a while but it doesn't
achieve what I like in Jim's aquarium. The graphics is good
but not as realistic as serenescreen aquarium.
Good work
in total. Hope to see more updates.

new tank
I like the
custom features and the ability to control the fish!
I'll be watching your progress anxiously, as you said,
you've got a lot of work to do before its finished.
Cool.

The
screenshots look great. I can't tie up my computer with a
download that big right now, but will grab it when I get the
chance.

Hi, Simon -
No plans to make mine "interactive 3D". I'll leave
that to you.
The 3D background that I'm working on is
already the most difficult and time-consuming part of the
Aquarium, but there's no way I'd ever finish it in my lifetime
if it were full 3D. It's like a Hollywood set -- no backs to
the objects. By always knowing where the objects will be
viewed from, I can maintain a project which is within my own
abilities, keep the polygon count low, and make sure the
textures are sharp and clear. The camera will pan back and
forth in the 2-screens-wide tank, but there's no way it could
go into the scene or change angles.

I love all
the shadows and watching how it gets "built" when loading.
I can only run the medium quality one with a degree of
success for the high quality ticks by at 3 fps and the low has
the fish racing around like someone fueled them with a jet
engine.
I can only manage about 23 fps with the medium
quality however but it looks more real than either of the
others.
I really do love the shadows. And you got the
flick-flick- flick- er of the fluorescent light down
great!
