This is incredibly fascinating... perhaps better than the guy lost in
the maze.

@Robert, @Christian, thanks for the description! The idea might come in handy
next time I tackle Voronoi-based mazes.

I just stumbled across this painting by Jacek Yerka which reminded me of your
image (or vice versa).

I did something very similar when doing a Voronoi based maze some time
ago. It was, I think, because of some discussion on whether you could do
triangular mazes. And I think it was in off-topic, so I cannot find the
thread any more.
In my experience simply backtracking (a depth first search) gives rather
unbalanced mazes, similar for breadth first. When I am stuck I select a
random point along the path taken so far to restart.
Attached is something I called Darrenworld, so I know at least one of
the participants in that discussion.
Note that for every pair of points on the blue line (rivers) there is
only one connecting path over the blue line. Similar for gray (mountains).

tip: do not run in an unknown place when it is too dark to see the
floor, unless you prefer to not use uppercase.

Nice ones. I like especially the lamp-mazes.
Now how about a 3D-maze?
Well, I understand that this would look like a simply box with two tiny
holes but I find the idea of doing this and just *knowing* there is a
maze inside quite tempting - for whatever strange reason.

Ah, that's how I figured it might look, sans spherical distribution.
So far I've just been using the method where you grow walls from existing ones.
It works fairly well if you allow a wall to keep growing for as long as it can.

That reminds me! A while back I was playing with Cave Demo by Tom Dobrowolski
which uses Ken Silverman's Voxlap voxel engine. Around that time I discovered
Jean-Michel Soler's 3D maze script for Blender, and thought the two combined
would be awesome... I was right :)
Any mesh can be converted into a 1024*256*1024 fully destructible voxel world,
though closed meshes work best. Attached is a screen shot showing an entrance (1
of 2) to the right and a blasted area to the left. The maze is solvable, and any
room within it can be accessed. For this particular model I displaced the
surfaces a bit, baked a procedural texture to the mesh and pasted a bunch of
markers all over it, though you can't see them here. Not the best vantage point,
I'll admit. It's something you would just have to play to appreciate :D

Why does that remind me of TNT experiments in Minecraft? :-)
