The weird symbol at 3:49 was initially a test model I used 1 year ago to test the import/export worklow and settings between AutoCAD, Blender and Unreal Engine, before anything was done for this animation. It was meant to be a quick object that took no longer than 30 seconds to design. Eventually it made it to Discord as a joke emote of unknown source, and this is the first time the story is revealed.
