VIDEO: The 1K Project II (coolest video ever)
Think your city has traffic congestion problems? It's probably not as bad as the rush hour portrayed in The 1K Project II. The 1K Project II was created by digital artist Blackshark using the custom track configurator in the game Trackmania and features no less than 1,000 sports cars, each identical and loosely based on the Mercedes SLK. The cars multiply like rabbits (VW Rabbits?) while swarming a polygonal burg and jumping, ramming and flipping over every square inch of town. It's worth a watch or ten.
Of course, if there's a second 1K Project, there had to have been a first, right? Yes indeed, you can find it here.

Pretty cool effect, they look like a bunch of locusts.
My only question is why?

I think it would have been cooler had they tried to simulate multi-body interactions instead of just turning clipping off between cars. Also #3 I believe they said at the beginning that the song was Flower by Moby

Aparently, there is no collision detection between cars in the game at all

I'm sure the opening to 'Gone In 60 Seconds- Now With Nicholas Cage' inspired these boys' choice in music considering thats the opening for the movie... Coolish... Not splendiforous, but coolish...

#5, it's not dumb. It's a work of art. Stop bitching.
It would be cool if the cars could collide with eachother in the same way they do with the world around them, ie., without combining with one another.
And yes, it's a lot like water. Yellow SLK water.

Sorry, but to be labeled "the coolest video ever", said video must contain, at minimum, one neckid woman behaving badly I believe. . .cool song though

Absolutley stupid. Waste of my time. And the music sucks too - people have too much time on their hands if they waste it creating crap like this.
