Different steps along the progress of a week long challenge on the theme: "Ruins"
First draft after an hour. I went for a greek look
Get rid of the greek columns as I clearly headed towards a medieval look.
Added foliage, multiply the render time but adds so much to the ruins look.
After 10 hours or so of work. (without counting the hours of rendering)
The ivy seems right. I need to put some particules and search for an object to put against the far sided wall, it seems empty.
Added particles to add some magic
The final render in Blender, 15 hours of work in total without rendering time
