It's a mystery!

Just realised this should be a VIP thread really. Oh well, I guess the penniless peons can have some 'fun' too.

Oh wow. I didn't know we were missing out on so much greatness.

A closeup of some larger symbol in the mesh? Also tempted to say that it's some sort of real world environment recorded using an unusual method.

I cheated, but damn that's cool.

Well the answer is out now. I'll start looking for a new one.
