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
