DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


 The puzzle is my first big and "specialized" #macro.  Previous ones
were limited to rounded boxes, parametrized objects,...
 The zip file includes the macro only; the rest of the scene is
quite ordinary made.  
 The Puzzle macro works with 3 base elements : flat piece, push piece 
and pull piece, each being materialized by a height_field.
 The macro needs 4 parameters : number of columns, number of rows, 
number of missing pieces, image (png) to map on the puzzle.
 It creates a puzzle with 1*1 unit pieces.
 If you want to know how it works inside, take a look at the explanation
picture (if I don't forget it ;) and the source in the zip file.  Anyway,
mail me if you have any question about the macro...
