| It looks like it could be a specular (or maybe blinn?) highlight.  The

If it is indeed done that way then the person you're referring to is Samuel
Benge, the guy that did many good things with isosurfaces (tutorial also) as
you might recall.  BTW, he's still in limbo I guess, away from the internet
awhile now.

I think it is a 2 sided texture with a bright point or spot light behind it.
