Animations? All I saw were stills...but that was a while ago, maybe the 
animations were added since then.

How would it be implemented? The only thing I can think of is a set of 
splines specifying diffuse, specular reflection, etc. for the different 
angles and overriding the ordinary finish settings. Basically, a new 
finish model.
Of course, it would help if I knew something about BDRF functions. :-)
My knowledge of them is currently similar to my knowledge of shaders: I 
know what they do, but I don't know the specifics of what they are like.
