Do you konw the screensaver named GoldFish Aquarium? here is the website from where you could download it http://download.lifeglobe.com/download/GoldFishAquarium/V2/Windows/GoldfishAquarium-V2.exe I extrac a fishmodel file(.x file) by some software, and I didn't find any animation in it. The model contains 2344 faces and 1335 vertices, and it run very fluently on my computer(integrated display card). I think the moving of goldfish maybe is controled by program, but how does this come true? Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your reply!
I did not find any 'bone' in the model file, and I did not find 'fishanimation file ' after it installed on my computer(I use the software InstallWatch to monitor its installation). I extract a txt file associate with the .x file, its content is:

PA-RND 0 500 1000 -RND 1 0 >0 犹
COLLISION 0.0 0.0 0.25 1.0

It seems to be some parameters.
I also think the animations might be proceduraly generated from combinations of sine waves. But what technique it uses? Maybe GPU? I don't know.

My English is very poor, hehe.
