A quite large group of Dutch 3d-freaks has made a group-project and actually finished it. In the 3.16 minutes long movie one can see a train moving through a country landscape. On itself this does not seem to be very interesting, but the fun thing is that everyone was to create his own wagon according to his own fantasie. This resulted in some really nice wagons.
This is the final result:

There were eleven modellers who actually made a wagon, some others who made extra landscape stuff and fourteen people rendered the whole scene. I was the leader, starter and animator of the project (the other starter, Atgast, quit leading but made the loc anyway).
I am still very much impressed by the fact that we actually delivered a finished result, which is extremely seldom for a project like this, worked on by people who hardly know each other.
The whole projected was started, discussed and worked on via a topic on the large Dutch forum tweakers.net (all in Dutch):

I have high-res renders of all wagons in the train, but as I am limited to one picture, I will post my own personal favourite:

And a link to the high-res version:

The Train project already has a successor that is being worked on, though only little is visible of it. Started by Atgast, this project is about machines to be exhibited in a museum. The topic can be found here (again in Dutch):
