Attached Link: Maze Maker - Link

Cleaning up some OLD links and re-stumbled upon this - a webpage that generates a black and white maze based upon whatever settings you input. With these settings I used, it created a 1025 x 1025 black and white .gif that I just saved to my hard drive, and then applied to a terrain in Bryce...

The author also has pages that make Christams Tree shaped mazes, and Heart shaped mazes.

Still playing. Maze.gif applied as a transparency map onto a cylinder. AS

That is really cool AS.

very cool, could also be used to make greebles? maybe.

I'm beginning to understand you AS. I think you're a sculptor at heart. Some very simple and elegant ideas. Thanks for the link!

Ahh....Creativity at work...it's fun to play in Bryceland! Thanks, AS, for getting all the possibilities going in my mind too.

If any of you have Painter, there is a special effect that creates random mazes.

Hey, that's cool, maybe I could use this to do a maze-like scene as in the Barbarella comic (I know, I'm old... :-)

That lamp image is quite marvellous. The other as well, but i love the light pattern. :)

Thanks AS! The "lamp"... that could conceivably be used to make a computer core type thing, yes? Gotta check that one out...


AgentSmith posted Thu, 16 June 2005 at 5:18 PM

Sure, the maze kinda looks like an elecrical board, in a way. AS

Great idea AS - I love using mazes - This concept can't go unexploited for long... Attached is an image I did 2003 but never got around to actually using it. C'mon peeps lets see your mazes!

jasonmit posted Sun, 19 June 2005 at 3:32 PM

Everytime I apply a pic like this to a terrain, I still get bumps and ridges as if it was a mountain. What am I doing wrong?


jasonmit posted Sun, 19 June 2005 at 3:40 PM

Here's what I mean.

Rosemaryr posted Sun, 19 June 2005 at 9:41 PM

Jasonmit: Thicker wall settings, plus terrain clipping should help. After the terrain clipping, increase the vertical size to whatever height you want the walls to be.

For info, I use a little program called 'Daedalus' as my maze generator. Nice and free :o) Hope this is of use, Mark.

Rosemaryr, I have Painter, if by that you include Painter Classic. Where's the "make maze" button then?

Now, what I'd really like, is a proggie to make 3D mazes... I mean where the maze grid itself is not just flat... Err... Perhaps I'll post an example to explain what I mean! LOL...


Rosemaryr posted Tue, 21 June 2005 at 10:48 AM

Fran: Don't have "Classic" but it's been in every version of Painter since about 2 or 3. (I have v.8 right now.) Menu-path is "Effects" > "Esoterica" > "Maze..." Fairly easy to use. hutchingsm: I took a look at "Deadalus" after you mentioned it above...They have a 3D maze option that produces a compiled pic for the 'floors' for a true 3d maze...Drawback seems to be that you have to separate them in another program like Photoshop, then guess which order to stack them in. I tried it out briefly yesterday and it look feasible to do, if a tad tedious.

Thanks for that Rosemary - it does look extremely tedious hehe... I've been playing with another approach which gives the results attached... it will probably work OK for what I want. Thanks!

Ta da! LOL - works best if the two mazes you intersect aren't identical... hehe
