          You are right. I don't know how I could achieve this however. Maybe there is some good ivy at the wharehouse?

            Drag this onto the flat walls.. the wall texture may be handy as well.


            Nice seamless ivy

                  Thanks for the help, when it comes time to texture this, these will really help.

                    I use that ivy generator, it's absolutely superb. Currently rendering a scene with ivy, will post it when I go into work on monday.

                      Thanks for the help Pete. Some of the example screenshots look amazing! Do you know a way I could use this without having the ability to import/export .obj? (I have the free version of sketchup 6)

                            Looks good so far, but that arch looks dodgy πŸ˜‰

                              The shape, or the rocks?

                                  The size of the stones at near top of the arch look way small. It looks like it could fall any minute.

                                    That was intentional to give it a worn down old appearance.

                                      yes but in the olden days they build them properly or they didnt stand up at all! and i think your would have collapsed a long time ago...

                                      but hey, thats what artistic license is for πŸ˜‰

                                          Exactly...arch is same thickness all around, otherwise it would collapse.

                                            I think I will just make all the little stones near the top bigger, and just ignore the fact that my arch would collapse in real life πŸ˜„
