Here's a more advanced version of my previous maze. I changed the color
so that it wouldn't look so gross...

  Now, guess how is it done. Note that the pipes don't intersect anywhere.

You used green tubes _on top of_ blue tubes.

  Forget the blue tubes. I was not speaking about them. They are just an
ornament so that the picture would not be so monotonic.

Hey, mr.art, *if* that's your real name, there is no sarcasm allowed in this
group. It's obvious that he used primitives and CSG. He probably even used a
macro or two, I'd bet. I'm willing to go so far to say he used pigment{} and
finish{} statements. Heh.

I was thinking he went to green worm training school. :)

An out of control delivery truck carrying a shipment of green and blue 
food dye went on a rampage in a spaghetti factory?

That looks a lot like the sphere_sweep object from MegaPOV using a 
non-linear spline...did you modify the maze macro to use sphere_sweeps 
instead of torus/cylinder segments?
I notice that although none of the pipes cross, some do touch the 
neighboring ones.

Sure looks to me like they do. They don't cross paths though...
Same way you made the other one but with different shape tiles?

Either a fractal, or random selection from a tilable set.

  Nope. It uses cylinders and torii (and spheres for the endings).
