1. Installation

Requirements:

• Blender 3.0 or newer

• Minimum 4GB RAM (8GB recommended for large mazes)

• Graphics card with OpenGL 3.3 support

Installation Steps:

1. Download the add-on ZIP file

2. Open Blender

3. Go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons

4. Click Install… and select the ZIP file

5. Enable Advanced Maze Generator Pro in the add-ons list

6. The panel will appear in the 3D Viewport > N-Panel > Maze Generation

2. Getting Started

Quick Start Guide:

1. Open Blender and switch to the 3D Viewport

2. Press N to open the N-Panel

3. Find the Maze Generation tab

4. Set width/height (recommended: 20×20 for beginners)

5. Choose a shape (Rectangle is default)

6. Select an algorithm (Recursive Backtracking recommended for starters)

7. Click Generate Maze

👉 Your maze will be created with separate objects for walls and floors, ready for material assignment.

3. Basic Controls

Basic Settings:

• Shape – Choose from 15+ predefined shapes

• Algorithm – Select generation method

• Width/Height – Maze dimensions (cells)

• Random Seed – Same seed = reproducible maze

Appearance Settings:

• Cell Size – Unit size of maze cells

• Wall Height – Wall elevation

• Wall Thickness – Control geometry thickness

• Wall Angle – Tilt walls inward/outward

Maze Features:

• Complexity – Overall difficulty

• Dead End Ratio – Adjust number of dead ends

• Symmetry – Generate mirrored layouts

• Center Focus – Converge paths toward center

• Merge Models – Optimize into single geometry

Path Display:

• Show Solution Path – Visualize correct route

• Show Start/End – Add markers

• Custom Colors – Control path/marker colors

4. Advanced Features

• Room Generation – Insert open spaces with configurable connections

• Central Paths – Create wide or styled corridors

• Edge Circuits – Add navigable perimeter paths

• Loop Control – Enable or restrict loop formations

• Weighted Generation – Use heat maps for controlled path bias

• Performance Optimization – Quality levels, iteration controls, memory/time limits

5. Algorithm Reference

• Recursive Backtracking – Depth-first, long corridors

• Kruskal’s Algorithm – Tree-like organic structures

• Prim’s Algorithm – Balanced complexity

• Wilson’s Algorithm – Uniform spanning trees

• Eller’s Algorithm – Row-by-row, memory efficient

• Binary Tree – Simple, directional bias

• Sidewinder – Horizontal corridors

• Growing Tree – Customizable priority-based generation

6. Shape Options

• Basic: Rectangle, Circle, Ellipse, Triangle

• Geometric: Diamond, Pentagon, Hexagon, Octagon

• Special: Star, Heart, Cross, Ring

• Complex: L-shape, T-shape, Spiral, Fractal, Noise

7. Performance Settings

• Quality Levels: Low / Medium / High / Ultra

• Optimization Modes: Speed / Balanced / Quality

• Memory Controls: Limit RAM, timeout protection, iteration caps

• Batch Generation: Auto-generate multiple mazes with naming system

8. Troubleshooting

• Slow Generation → Reduce size, lower quality, use simpler algorithms

• High Memory Usage → Merge models, reduce dimensions, lower limits

• Blender Crashes → Update Blender, reduce maze size, free up RAM

• Maze Looks Wrong → Reset parameters, try new seed

• Objects Not Selectable → Check Outliner, hidden objects, correct view layer

9. FAQ

Q: Can I edit generated mazes?
A: Yes, walls/floors are separate editable objects.

Q: How do I apply materials?
A: Select wall/floor → Apply in Material Properties.

Q: Can I export to other software?
A: Yes, via FBX/OBJ/etc. or JSON export.

Q: Max maze size?
A: Recommended under 200×200, depends on system memory.

Q: Can I create 3D mazes?
A: Currently 2D only. Stack multiple mazes for multi-level layouts.

Q: Is solvability guaranteed?
A: Yes, unless loops are explicitly enabled.
