Labyrinth & Woven
Lost in the maze -- in the best way. This effect lays down a grid of diagonal lines that randomly flip direction per cell, creating patterns that range from tight woven basket textures to sprawling labyrinth corridors. It's the kind of surface that makes people pick up your print and trace the paths with their finger.

Parameters
Grid Size- Cell size of the underlying grid. Smaller cells = tighter weave with more detail; larger = broader labyrinth corridors.
Fill- How many cells contain a line segment. At 1.0 every cell has a diagonal; lower values open up gaps in the maze.
Variation- Introduces random variation in line direction and placement. Low = orderly herringbone; high = chaotic, organic maze.
Stroke- Width of each diagonal line. Thin strokes create a delicate etched look; thick strokes make bold woven bands.
Blur- Softens the line edges for a less mechanical, more textile feel.
Seed- Reshuffles which way each diagonal tilts. Every seed is a new maze waiting to be explored.
Resolution- Texture resolution in pixels. Bump this up for fine weave detail.
Ratio- Aspect ratio of the texture. Keep cells square for proper diagonal angles.
Depth (mm)- How far the woven ridges push outward. Negative values carve grooves instead.
Tile U / Tile V- Repeats the weave around (U) and along height (V). Increase for dense rattan-basket coverage.
Rotation- Rotates the weave direction. 45° aligns diagonals to vertical/horizontal.
Width Gain- Makes extrusion lines thicker on the raised weave ridges for extra relief.
Flow Gain- Pumps more material into the bright ridges for pronounced woven texture.
