3D Mazes?
Maze Creator:
We have been working with 3D lately. Many people have asked about this form of rendering. If you have ideas that you would like to see after looking at this sneak peek, please email us ASAP!
Most of the professional users have been asking for this feature for Ad copy, box shot, and illustration usage. We will give you more samples as well perfect the rendering.

Good day.
One thing that would be handy for my purposes is to be able to render the maze in such a way that the walls are height mapped. In my case that would mean grey scale where the floor would be black, and the walls would
shade from black at the inside and outside to white in the center. one could envision wall profiles that could be entered into the program to shape the profile of the walls in cross section.
Thank you for considering.

Hi Bladesmith,
I want to make sure I fully understand your request. Please look at the image below and let me know if either the side marked A or B (or neither) match your description of the wall mapping.
Thanks,

Greg,
Thank you for considering my request. Drawing B is more what I had in mind. That particular gradient would (on my CNC carving machine) create a maze wall that would be high in the center, and slope toward the maze floor on either side.
A would Be a straight vertical drop from the top, and a slope toward the bottom a bit like a saw tooth. Think of it in terms of laying the image you provided flat, tuning it to view from the right side, then A would go up at an angle toward the right,
B would go up, and then back down. The particular shading used defines how the slope would look. the faster the change in grey, the sharper the slope.
Please let me know if you have further questions, I will be glad to talk to you more about it.
