It was originally intended to be a probe traveling through a dense
nebula (I was trying to judge the usability of scattering media in an
animation). But as the animation took shape, I decided it was up to
the viewer to define what was happening. (With no other visual cues,
is the object moving? the viewer? or both? [it's the last])

I didn't want to boost the ambient colours too much (I hate having
ambient+diffuse>1 but in some scenes it is necessary, I've even
resorted to negative transparency in some scenes.)
