Im going to do some type of ancient ruined courtyard with a fountain in the middle of it as in the ref pictures. Though i will change couple of things such as:
-Surrounding buildings are 1 level only not 2
-Have a surrounding gate/fence and some other details.
Im not really going to do alot for the modeling, as i want this project to be more texture based as im a novice person in it as some of you may no. So i need all the support and help i can get from you guys
Lets hope i can do this
Cheers, Marlon

I would go a bit mad with some paint FX to add weeds etc etc round the pillars etc etc. Also I would make it all nice and built up then get the split poly tool and break some bits off to ruin it up a bit.

For the weeds, which way would it be better?
Make weeds with paint FX going along some curve if it is possible? Or try to project a texture onto the object? Or would both be good?

You can attach paint FX to curves, make the curve then select the brush from the visor and select the curve (the selection might be the other way round as I cnat remember off the top of my head) then attach the brush to the curve, the options in the paint FX menu.

Got a question though, when i was just about finished, i just realized that in the bottom right quadrant(UV Error Picture), one of the things ended up being slightly bending/diagonal? i kinda fixed it up by doing auto-mapping but is that ok for later on when i apply the texture or anything...
Thanks,
Marlon
