Some people here are guessing it's a super-complex pigment, but that
doesn't jive with what I'm seeing here; a pigment like that probably
couldn't be written in 3.1, and in 3.5 it would take a long time to
calculate; plus, it still wouldn't create the effect seen here to put
one pigment on a plane/sphere, unless you used some kind of pretrace
step to generate an imagemap, which I doubt.

I'm guessing you've written an insanely complex mesh macro.

Whatever it is, it's impressive.
