Labyrinth Challenge

I created the more traditional Labyrinth which is curved in shape, didn't really work for what I wanted and didn't want to waste the time and effort put into creating the two labyrinth designs, so I going to open up the design for a challenge to see what you can all do with the image.

Attached is the xcf file in which you will find

All the construction paths
Guide lines & Grid Lines
Two labyrinth layer, one Classical and the other Square.

Here is n example of the two labyrinths

Lets see what you can all do with this image.

he4rty: hmm... do you just want people to do fun things with your existing labyrinths or did you mean more like reconstructing the labyrinth? the latter seems more fun but also a bit above me

I'm not sure if understood or not but this is what I made out of the rounded labyrinth!

It's based off of those like really big and clunky Egyptian necklaces.

Organic Labyrinth (do a search) has eluded me for several years now (well over 6 years on and off). The person who created the program apparently won't share it. Click below for inspiration. I tried to apply traveling salesman model to create these but it just don't cut it. Thanks for sharing your effort he4rty.

Found Karan's Facebook page PC; in it are links to the papers. Don't have to be a member of Facebook to view it (I'm not a Facebook member).

Also, as a side note, I wish the coder gurus for GIMP or G'MIC could create these. Say you have either text for a solid object. Then you can create an Organic labrynth fill for the object. I, again, asketh for too mucheth. lolol

L ,thank for the link

I thought fare give a chance to exit the labyrinth ,
... supposing it 1 way only so with mechanisms or angry mop running behind preventing to go back on the same way
... now looks more complex and is tricky, but at least offers a vague chance to find a way out

Topology conversion.
That's what your labyrinth would look like as a 3d manifold (torus). Not what I'd expected but go figure.

Multi-tiered Labyrinth Cake - for your next Life Event?

PhotoComix - Nice Work on the double labyrinth
K1TesseraEna - Don't really know much about what you mention in your post but the effect is interesting.
Fluffy - Lovely looking cake, now when I look at the circular labyrinth I keep seeing giant pretzel.

The previous posts got me wondering how the square labyrinth would look after the polar filter, Interesting effect.

A coloured version

mokonafan: oooh, that's some serious bling!! i would wear that any day

. at least as long as it wasn't real gold, i can't stand the thought of wearing something as expensive as real gold. hmm... maybe this is something i should try with my remaining brass plate?
photo comix: nice twin maze

. i tried to go through it but my eyes had a problem with the contrast, so i gave up.
k1tesseraena: that looks like an art glass bead! you don't happen to know any bead makers, do you? if you meet one you should show them that torus shape.
fluffybunny: beautiful!! someone finally makes their gimp chat friends a cake - about time, if you ask me!

lovely colour too.
he4rty: i like the look of that, very decorative

I must have been hungry when I sat down to do this...
@he4rty: Next time I'll add large salt crystals and make them flatter to appear more pretzel like

@AnMal: Pink Chrome - Yum!
I blame that darn Light to Height filter again... my intention was never to make my reply about food.

Here is my contribution, entitled "Easy or hard ?" :hehe

The square labyrinth has been upscaled, and a new smaller labyrinth has been built inside the walls of the original one.
Now you have two labyrinths to solve at the same time, one is easy (the green path), one is harder (the red path).
As I'm a quite cool guy, I give you also the two solutions :hehe

Hope you'll appreciate this small (non-artistic) idea !

Ronounours - Nice work, I would be lost for days on that red path.

Me too he4rty, green one easy peazy, red one I haven't found an exit yet. :teeth

odinbc: that looks simple but nice! i should have tried that instead of what i wasted half an hour on :gaah

ronounours: oh heavens, i wouldn't like to run around along that red path! i like the idea of a maze inside the maze, though.
