Texture painting was really useful, I created about 6 stone brushes, 2 leaking brush and 1 crack brush to achieve all the textures you see on the temple. The tutorial of Kent Trammell was very useful to me especially to make the image tileable in photoshop and how to use it properly in Blender.
For the materials, I didn't go on some complicated nodes, actually, no glossy for the stone material but I played on the color (RGB curve, Bright, contrast, saturation) to create an harmony in all the parts of the temple.
For the story I put a canvas and a chair to give a human presence to the scene, my first idea was to put indiana jones but was too much work...
Hope you like it !
PS : I will certainly post my work progress with renders on blender artist.
