The Maze Generator is a Blender add-on designed to create customizable, random maze meshes within Blender. This tool is ideal for users in game development, architectural visualization, or artistic projects who need to quickly generate complex mazes with various configurations.
Features
- Random Maze Generation — Generate mazes with customizable dimensions and properties. Users can adjust parameters such as rows, columns, cell size, and wall height to vary the complexity and size of the maze.
- Solidify Modifier — Optionally apply a solidify modifier to give thickness to maze walls, enhancing the 3D appearance.
- Bevel Modifier — Optionally apply a bevel modifier to smooth out the edges of the maze walls, providing a more polished look.
- Floor & Ceiling — Optionally add a floor and a ceiling when the maze is generated. Each is created as its own object, so you can give it its own material or remove it independently.
- Boundary Walls — Optionally enclose the maze in an outer wall frame, pushed out from the maze edge by an adjustable number of cells, turning the maze into a self-contained room.
- Entrance & Exit — Optionally cut entrance and exit openings into the boundary to define start and end areas. Place each opening by choosing a wall (North, South, East, or West) and a position along it, from one corner through the centre to the other — both openings can even share a wall.
Randomise Entrance and Randomise Exit buttons move a door to a random spot on the opposite wall and rebuild instantly, so you can shuffle until you like it.
- Advanced Configuration Options — Includes settings for random seed input, allowing users to reproduce specific mazes consistently. Additional controls for deleting isolated sections ("islands") of the maze and adjusting the complexity through iterations.
- Real-time Updates — Adjust maze parameters in real-time from the Blender UI, with immediate visual feedback in the 3D view.
How to Use
- Install the add-on in Blender.
- Navigate to the Sidebar > Create tab in the 3D View.
- Adjust the maze parameters in the Maze Generator panel located at the bottom left of the
viewport: - Rows and Columns — Adjust the subdivision level of the grid on the X and Y axis to control the number of walls. - Cell Size — Modifies the overall size of the maze. - Wall Height — Controls the height of the maze walls. - Environment Options — Optionally add a floor, ceiling, and boundary walls, and cut an entrance and exit into the boundary at the positions you choose. 4. Click the Generate Maze button to create new mazes with your current settings. 5. Further customize the generated maze by modifying materials or applying additional Blender modifiers for enhanced visual effects. Each part (maze, floor, ceiling, and boundary) is a separate object, so you can assign each its own material in the shader editor.
Compatibility
Blender 4.2+ (Untested on earlier versions)
What's New
0.3.1 June 14th, 2026
Removed old GitHub account links (no longer accessible, thanks to Microsoft's authenticator, protip folks, use text message as 2FA instead! ) - Updated website for now until I create a new one.
It's amazing! i dont know if you're still actively working on this/ adding suggested features, but i wish that there's a way to add custom shapes as our walls. so i could make a wall look that i like and then assign the walls to be that with it's textures and everything.
that was the main suggestion, now these are not needed but would be lovely if added: 1- pre-made floor/celling upon the maze's creation 2- walls around the maze 3- assign beginning/goal in the maze so i can make an enter/exit area.
like i said these suggestions aren't needed as i can cosutmaize it by hand after the maze's creation but it'd be good to cut some time. amazing plugin sir
