Not the best screensaver I have seen. The overall feel is that it looks quite dated as far as up-to-date 3D graphics goes. It needs to look more lifelike to actually appeal.
Straight forward install on XP.

I have always skipped the screensaver giveaways before, since I never used them, until the Fantastic Flame screensaver some days earlier - and acquired a taste for it. So I downloaded the Autumn screensaver too, now regretting that I haven't downloaded all of their previous screensavers.
Its enchanting and beautiful, and I am almost tempted to buy more screensavers from them. The grafics are very beautiful and in no way "dated" as #3 says - its art, it can't be "dated" anyway. And as far as 3D goes, its certainly not meant to look as realistic as a photo, but its beauty is the grafics art, almost realistic but still its grafic. I think one needs to see artistic work with "heart eyes" and appreciation for the artist, to see the beauty.
The music is also nice, light and soothing.
Sure, screensavers are not needed - but hey, like pictures, and any other arts, its simply beautiful to look at. A little gem.
Thanks to GAOTD and Astrogemini

Golden Autumn 3D Screensaver is nice, but using Direct 3D, 2 cores of an AMD quad [somewhat heavily] plus the GPU of an ATI 4870 graphics card, I don't expect everyone will be able to run it &/or get great results, depending on your hardware & its D3D support. The configuration window does not support large type or fonts. The autumn views are detailed, & nice, but the 3D aspects are a bit primitive -- if you expect the latest/greatest game quality you'll be disappointed... falling leaves for example don't bend, twist, & flex, but simply fall slowly, stiffly as if molded from plastic. I saw a bit of aliasing, but I didn't try to adjust any D3D settings that might help. That sort of thing may/may not bother you, but with very little impact to Windows don't be afraid to give it a try, as always setting at least a restore point before trying something new.

As a more traditional screensaver everything's in the .scr file -- the .scr & a file named "no" are added to Window's system folder, while the program's folder simply contains the html readme page. An uninstall key is added to the registry, & the program key that's added is where the screensaver keeps track of your configuration settings, i.e. music volume, sound FX on/off & so on. If you rename the screensaver's file -- "Golden Autumn 3D Screensaver.scr" --> "Golden Autumn 3D Screensaver.exe" -- you can create a shortcut pointing to it on your desktop &/or in your start menu... running it that way you'll get the configuration window -- adding /run to the shortcut's command in properties [i.e. "c:\[SomeFolder]\Golden Autumn 3D Screensaver.exe" /run] causes the screensaver to run... If you just want to watch it rather than use it as a screensaver, you can easily create one or both.

Blech. This is one ugly screensaver. It installed fine on W7 x64, has a few options for you to tinker with, but even when jacking the resolution of the screensaver as high as it would go it still looked on par with a Playstation One game or something. This is partly due to the ground just being covered in one big texture patterned with leaves rather than having individual leaves on top of the ground. But hey, there are ducks swimming around in the river!

Thanks for the free software all the same.
