That is so neat.  And a-mazing you could ever come up with a similar pattern as
well as that too.
Only thing I can see unmaze-like about both Sams and Rons is they have many
closed paths.  Most mazes I've ever seen don't a completely sealed off sections
like these do.  But who cares, it's a great pattern.

| Okay, I'm going to assume this is pretty much it until you say otherwise:
|
| #macro MazePigment(Pig1,Pig2)
|   #local Pig3=pigment {
|     gradient x
|     pigment_map {[.25 Pig1][.25 Pig2][.75 Pig2][.75 Pig1]}
|     warp {repeat x} scale sqrt(2) rotate 45*y
|   }
|   function { noise3d(floor(x)+.5,floor(y)+.5,floor(z)+.5) }
|   pigment_map

|     [.5 Pig3 ]
|     [.5 Pig3 rotate 90*y ]
|   }
| #end
|
| camera {location 80*y sky z look_at 0}
| light_source {80*y rgb 1}
|
| plane {y 0
|   pigment {
|     MazePigment(pigment{color rgb <.5,.5,1>}, pigment {color rgb 0})
|   }
| }
