Yeah the colour and height are sampled from 2 pigment functions. The code 
looks sort of like this:
#local f_depth = function { pigment { /*depth function goes here*/ } }
#local f_pat = function { pigment { /*colour function goes here*/ } }
...
//loop over every position in the grid
object { hex translate pos+z*f_depth(pos.x,pos.y,0).x pigment { 
f_pat(pos.x,pos.y,0) } }

It's an ultra_wide_angle lens.
