One Maze - Many designs - experiment #22

This is a continuation of my maze design experiments. Read about it in post #1, One Maze - Many designs, and so on with a new post every Friday.

I saw that Bing Image creator had some new pre-set image creators so I tried them again to see how or if it improved. For each generation I uploaded the original maze.

  • For the first maze I asked Bing to create a fun background. It went with a beachball, star, rainbow, cloud, flowers, leaves, and a birthday cap. Unfortunately it de-mazed the maze.

  • The second maze used the Impressionist button, but it de-mazed the maze again.

  • The third maze used the item Spotlight button, but it de-mazed the maze.

  • The fourth maze used the Oil Painting button, but it de-mazed the maze.

  • The fifth maze I asked Bing for an Americana background and not to touch the maze….but it de-mazed the maze (again).

Bing really can’t make a background without touching the foreground. It loves to de-maze, mazes. Bing could make a background for mazes, but not with the foreground maze in the equation, leave it out and add it later yourself ! AI is still having problems with this !

While I usually have a theme for the week, this week is a bit of a grab bag of Inkscape creations.

  • The first maze shows the maze rotated 90 degrees to the right, basically on it’s side.

  • The second maze I drew the walls as if it was a hedge maze.

  • The third maze is just very made from very thin lines - so thin it can be hard to see.

  • The fourth maze uses grey blocks for the walls.

  • The fifth maze changes the color to white from #4, giving it a new, more confusing look for your eyes. I think this version is harder to solve.

The fifth maze is interesting because the lack of color gives it a busier look than the use of color in #4. I also like the idea of drawing hedge maze in #2.

I used Inkscape filters for the last time I think. I seem to have used all of them by now that were able to be used (I have not mixed and matched them however).

  • The first maze uses something called canvas bumps, bit I would call it old school tv screen static.

  • The second maze uses glowing bubbles and while I do not see any bubbles, I do see what looks like bubble light reflection on some of the internal walls.

  • The third maze uses a filter fire which I was excited about, until I saw what was generated. It put the maze on fire, I guess.

  • The fourth maze uses the silk carpet filter and makes the maze wavy with some light reflection in specific locations.

  • The fifth maze uses ink blot and makes me think I need glasses.

I had these made for awhile and I waited to post them, but they never got better while sitting in my folder. I do not expect to use any of these unless I have a tv screen static illustration.

I used Inkscape and played with layers again this week, but added some colors. 2 of these I really like, let’s see if you agree.

  • The first maze I did a grey background while layering the maze from darker to lighter colors. I like this one!

  • The second maze is a similar concept but using blues to give it more color interest. I prefer the greys !

  • The third maze I made all of the walls white over a blurred black wall to give it a faint black glow. I think it looks cool.

  • The fourth maze takes the 3rd maze and gives it a blue ombre centered blue background.

  • The fifth maze takes the 3rd and gives it a yellow to dark yellow ombre background.

The third and first mazes are my favorites. The glow of black under white gives it a unique look.
