this is an image i did in between jobs.
its roughly based of a ref photo i found a while ago.
i created the scene in cinema 4d using normal poly modeling,etc and then i unwrapped and painted the textures of the buildings etc in bodypaint. i also added a slight natural unstraightness to the path to try to make it appear more natural. i then exported the wood work and foor into the ivy generator, found here : http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/ivy_generator/
and made the ivy. then i used the fryrender plugin to render it.
i wanted to make the whole image a little moody so i placed the sun on the other side of the building to give some nice shade to the whole image.
