For anyone out there running a 4k or better resolution, here is a gorgeous 2 hour Electric Sheep video that works well with DeskScapes. Big download (40gb), but it's the coolest DeskScape that I've come across. The guy that made this spent months of render time on a dedicated rig to produce this output.

If anyone knows of anything else out there in super-high res, why not post in this thread and lets see what else is out there?

 

Enjoy!

You might want to keep watch on your CPU usage with that type

of video running in the background . Actual dreams are designed

to run lower CPU usage . Depends on the type of other apps you

might be running during that time span ..

If you slow the vids right down the cpu/gpu seems pretty reasonable, at least on my rig. I run that vid on 2 x 4k monitors, one in landscape, one in portrait.

With all windows minimised, and maximum rendering going on at 0.25% speed, there's 4% GPU usage on each DSHost process, CPU usage shows 0.1% on each process. Running at 2x speed, GPU goes up to about 30% each process, cpu is about 6% each process, so definitely a lot more resource hungry when sped up. But those figures also drop to zero when you're doing anything in fullscreen or with a maximised window if you've configured DeskScapes to pause under those conditions.

I have a RTX 3070 and an i9 10900kf with about 40% overclock on the processor (5ghz), but as you can see it's going to punch your GPU a lot more than your processor, as long as your GPU can do dedicated video decoding...
