Snaf, its just the ugly standard lighting of gmax and the way it displays triangulation in non-triangulated editable-poly planes (the hexagon is one face, rather than six triangles). I've checked the math, and its just gmax's way of sayingburn in helli<3u. And pooky, it might remind you of the Cobb crates from H2, and more specifically Elongation. Other than that, I have no idea what you're thinking of, and am probably better off not knowing.
