Ruins Generator

Ruins Generator turns time loose on your scenes. Select any building you modeled and press Ruinify: its top breaks away in a ragged line, holes are punched through the walls, the windows lose their glass, rubble piles up where the stone fell, and moss, grime, ivy and grass creep over what is left. It is non-destructive, so a Decay slider and a seed change the ruin live, and Remove gives your original building back.

Or build a ruin from scratch. 31 ready-made ruins modeled on real places cover the whole history of building: Greek and Roman temples, a tholos, a forum colonnade, a triumphal arch, an amphitheatre, a hillside theatre, an aqueduct and villa foundations; an Egyptian hypostyle hall, a ziggurat, Maya pyramids, a Khmer temple gripped by tree roots and a brick stupa; a Gothic abbey, a Romanesque church, a castle keep, an Irish round tower and an abandoned croft; a bombed brick block, a collapsed concrete frame with rebar and an old factory; a henge, stone circles, stone rows, a dolmen and two fantasy shrines.

Every ruin is built block by block in real meters. Walls break along their courses, columns fall drum by drum and lie in rows the way earthquakes leave them, beams only survive where both columns still stand, and the rubble settles in physically plausible mounds at the foot of the walls.
