As the name suggests, '2D+3D Screensaver Maker' is a program meant to help you create 2D and 3D screensavers.
I was a little disappointed when I've opened this program because of its user interface. It looks old and dusty. The program has four main features and an additional one. The one I called the 'additional one' is the one meant to help you add music to your work.
The first of the features is the 'SlideShow'. Here you can create a slide show from your picture with various transition effects to use it as a screensaver. The '3D Saver' is the second feature and it is pretty much the same if we compare the settings. The difference comes when you preview your work. The pictures you use are displayed on scene varying from a cubical object or some flags to magic glass and in many of these scenes you can move your camera around it by pressing the space bar. While you select your pictures to use you can choose to edit them. If you want to edit a picture it will be opened in Microsoft Paint.
The next two features are the 'Flash Saver' and the 'Video Saver'. They are pretty much the same thing. Only the output file type is different. The program is easy to use after you get used with its user interface but it has some odd behavior in certain condition. For example, if you use 'Yahoo! Messenger', when you minimize a conversation window and this program is open, it will start the preview of your work without your intervention.
Pluses:
Drawbacks / flaws: Some odd behavior. The flaw I mentioned above is very frustrating.
In conclusion: I hope that they will redesign the user interface by the next release and will solve the flaws.
