I would like to create a 3D screensaver. I know how to program but no experience with opengl or directx programming. Can someone tell me how do I go about to doing that? I really want to make an aqarium screensaver. Unfortunately, the good ones are shareware. I would like to make one for myself.
 
Buy a book "DirectX programming" or "OpenGL programming", write a program and rename it to .Scr.
Alternatively, try learning from code at http://PlanetSourceCode.com or just on Google.

For a good screensaver, you will need a good sense of design unless you just want several 3d models moving left and right. For a fishy screen saver, you will need some major body modeling unless you want your fishes to just shift in various directions 🙂
