The current background will be completely replaced by a 3D modeled background that, when the "camera" tracks from left to right (you can't move the camera around), will blow away the 3D backgrounds all the other screen savers have been attempting. Jim is using a couple of "why doesn't everyone do it this way?" methods which crank up the realism but keep the FPS high.
I think the most exciting thing about the 3D background will just be the feeling that things are organic and we'll have (unless something changes), opening and closing clams (the 4 blue guys in the bottom center are clams!), things swaying and moving slowly, etc.
I don't think many (if any, besides the lights and bubble column) things will be customizable on the 3D background.
