Guess the Mystery Object

If anyone can correctly identify this object... well, I'll be suitably impressed.

Update: now with colors!

Another Update: after this update, further updates to the Mystery Object will occur only on my other blog.

An extreme close-up of Edward James Olmos'...never mind.

A cylinder with bump and color maps applied.

Wait, is that too literal?

Clearly, that post was written by the evil "Anti-Squelch" of episode 23. The correct joke would have been, "a cone with bump and color maps applied."

In fact, it is a cone. But it's a displacement map rather than a bump map, and the colors are applied via an fBm turbulence material consisting of several nested gradient layers. But you were in the ballpark!
