Er, you are right, of course...for some reason I was adding, not 
subtracting. Oops.
Try specifying a max_gradient or eval. Sometimes this is necessary to 
get a correctly rendering surface. And you might want to try "function { 
-PigFun + sqrt(sqr(x)+sqr(y)+sqr(z)) }", so it falls off linearly from 
the center.
