Hi everyone, here's the latest from the ruins wip.

Unfortunately, this resolution doesn't really do it justice; it was rendered
without aa and scaled down afterwards in the gimp.

I've decided to keep the floor relatively plain, so it's just got rocks strewn
around, a bit of patchy colour and some grass and weeds in the crevices.
There's also grass on all the ledges. I'm pretty pleased with the media - looks
like a hot still afternoon - and there's just enough to see some subtle sunbeams
off the statue.

I'm thinking of adding some more vegetation - I think it'd be nice to put some
bushes, maybe some ivy if I can drive the .obj utility. Also, the final version
will be slightly brighter - the radiosity in this was recursion_limit 1, and
I'll be bumping that up to 2 for the final.

Comments and suggestions welcome!
