        +1 Looking superb so far. I think there's a lot to be said for good quality clay renders, they look so simple and focus the viewers attention on the modelling details, rather than textural details.

              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)

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

                                        Thanks for the help I will fix that shortly.

                                        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˜‰
