IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

My husband suggested "cowpie" as a pi-related topic, and I immediately
saw this image in my head.  It was the quickest to compose so far!

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The Pi symbol was created as a tiff image in Photoshop with the
text tool, and loaded into Bryce as a symmetrical lattice.  The
hills and mountains are pretty stock stuff, and the fence is 
just a collection of cylinders with a neat woody texture applied.
The real fun in this image was coming up with the cow-texture!  I
started with the stock material "Amazonian Toad Skin" and went to
work in the deep texture editor to come up with the black and white
spots.  The foreground texture is also one I modified from a stock
material, to get the appearance of small stones and dirt.
