MazeGenerator Documentation

This plugin is a Spline Generator. It generates labyrinth structures.

There are 5 shape Maze Types:

• Triangular

• Rectangular

• Hexagonal

• Circular

• Free Shape - Here the generator will generate a maze to fill any closed spline object child.

E-value (Elitism) - Higher values produce longer corridors, fewer dead ends, more "river-like" flow.

R-value (River) - Higher values produce more branching, shorter corridors, more "tree-like" structure

Mode/Cell Mode - A cell is the smallest area of space that a maze comprises of. This defines the type of cells used to create the overall maze shape. They can be triangles, squares or hexagons.

Chamber - Triangular, Rectangular and Hexagonal have an optional Chamber size. This is an empty space at the center of the maze. When a Chamber is defined the exit is always on the border of it. Circular mazes always have a Chamber, it's not optional.

Start Cell - Defines the cell that will be the entrance to the maze.

End Cell - Defines the cell that will be the exit of the maze.

Show Solution - Draws a spline showing the path from the Start Cell to the End Cell.

Hardest Solution - If enabled will construct a maze where the solution path is also the longest path.

Separate Cells - If enabled each cell will be cached as an individual spline. This is useful for manual editing or MoGraph effects.

Show Cell Centers - If enabled a Null object will be created at the center of each cell. Used for better visualization of the structure.
