Oh, that's great! I especially love the shots near the sample video of the temples integrated with the landscape; there's something about that juxtaposition vs. a free-standing building on a flat plain that really sells a sense of place, of architecture as something that exists in history.

Have you considered adding variations for, I guess, ruination of the generated temples? A variable amount of simulated decay and collapse of the structure, removing portions of the roof or of columns?

Thanks! Yes, ruination for sure. One inspiration for the project were places like Petra and Lalibela, so integration with the landscape was key from the get-go.
