My first Star Citizen video wallpaper for Wallpaper Engine

[mr-hasgaha]

For those that don't know what Wallpaper Engine is:

"Wallpaper Engine enables you to use live wallpapers on your Windows desktop. Various types of wallpaper are supported, including 3D and 2D animations, websites, videos and even certain applications. Choose an existing wallpaper or create your own and share it on Steam Workshop!"​

You can find Wallpaper Engine on Steam:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/431960/


For my first attempt, I used a screenshot I had taken and rerecorded it as a video.

Links to the wallpapers on Steam

• 16:9 2560x1440 60fps version
• 21:9 3440x1440 60fps version
• 16:9 1920x1080 60fps version (for W7 users mostly)

Quick Demos of the video

• 16:9 version on YouTube
  
  
  
• 21:9 version on YouTube
  

I wanted to keep the video simple my first time around while learning Wallpaper Engine. I'm looking to hear any and all comments and critiques. I'd like to make more of these but I hope to improve my methods as I go. So please, tell me what I did wrong.

Bravo! Your screenshots from way back inspired me to work on some relaxation SC videos (got a bunch in the can already). That wallpaper looks amazing!

Nice one :)

We now are having a handful of threads which are dealing with "Animated Wallpaper". Aside from this one here, as follows:

@Floating Cloud recently opened a corresponding thread here:

@AstroSam opened one here https://www.testsquadron.com/threads/there-it-is-the-test-animated-wallpaper-or-screensaver.10202/

...and for those who don't like animations as wallpaper, @TheUnknownDane posted some files here: https://www.testsquadron.com/threads/star-citizen-wallpaper-collection-1920x1080.9891/

...plus it seems that wallpapers currently seem to be the state-of-the-art-topic, because its settled as community spotlight topic: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/citizens/15769-This-Week-In-Star-Citizen
Lots of 4k wallpapers incoming :)

Thus its raining wallpapers all over us :D

Cheers!

Oh nice.. I had seen your ambient video before, well done. I'll check out the others as well, thanks.

As for screenshots... yeah, I've taken a few. I made a thread here a while back offering up my ever-expanding catalog of screenshots to fellow TESTies to use as stream backdrops, video thumbnails, etc.
