Description
Night Bird renders birds in flight over a landscape of trees as the camera pans and swoops.
Virtual reality simulation of birds in flight
Night Bird and a few other Glacier Point Software screensavers were used to promote the 3d graphics library used to produce them, XYZ++.
Though Night Bird isn't as flashy as most of the software here, but I've always fount it's display to be very relaxing.
