Seeing the complexity of the object, I have no difficulty to understand 
that :-)

I don't know... Sometimes knowing how it is done can also deepens the 
mystery : 'ok, I know that I get this by doing so and so, but why is it 
so appealing?'

In fact, apart from the complex symmetries and transformations, I am 
also wondering how you got the coloring of each individual piece with 
hand-coding (I have not the least idea how to get such a coloring excpet 
with UV mapping)!
