I see, it appears doors instead mirrors, I'll fix.

Well, the distribution of walls, windows and doors is based on a random
function, based on the row and column where the object is placed, I only can
modify the parameters to generate another maze or keep faith in the boy to
find a way to exit.
(do I said there's an exit?)

Yes, is a little faster instead of putting infinity objects handly.

The code, but not the mesh of the person is in p.b.s-f.

Next version could have two or threes shapes of every object.

I'd agree that the mirrors need to look less like doors. Maybe put a 
table in front of each, with a vase of flowers or something, for that 
extra-surreal look?

> (do I said there's an exit?)

Sure. Climb up, using doorknob and door top, then walk along the edges 
of the roof. :-)

Nice image, I also like Borges. I would try with an individual light for
each hexagon using fade distance and power.
IMO the atmosphere has to be a little oppresive, you know what I mean.

I forgot to mention you'd need a lot of books (better a lot of libraries),
IIRC Jaime has a good macro and Gilles too.
But maybe you'll want to develope some?

Hehe - Ok.

I was just guessing about what the subject was referring to,
but I see now that I should have Googled that sentence before
replying.

Is a short english translation from : Lore ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut
laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat voluptat.

...or is pangram, a standard from typesetting were you get all the letters
of the alphabet?

Aaah - "Pseudo Latin". No I don't understand that language... =)

Yes it is a pangram.

Your text used almost all the letters in the english alphabet,
so I thought that _maybe_ the subject was referring to this.

(I used this pangram a lot while repairing old teletype machines.
We made punched paper tapes with the hole patterns for this
pangram so that we could check all the letter-"hammers"(?) in
the machines.)

That would indeed be a strange thing to do !

I tracked down the origin of the text, turns out that at least part of it is
from Cicero.

BTW, there's something sad about this picture... Sort of reminds me of a book I
once read called House of Endless Stairs.
