I think this is called a "maquette" render. You see it a lot in modeling forums where people are showing a WIP and they don't have textures or don't want to distract the evaluator's opinion with textures. It's very common among the high-end 3D apps to render this way, as it seems to be some sort of badge of honor to produce a beautiful maquette render.
Actually, it looks more like an AO pass than anything else - they are great for showing off the details in the model without worrying about textures etc. If you want to see some awesome maquettes, take a look at some of the stuff that comes out of ZBrush :biggrin:
