Dungeon
I always was a fan of 3D Battlemaps and 3D Art in general. But starting out on that journey was a lot harder than I thought. But I think I´m on the right track now. This is the basic layout of my little cellar, more a proof of concept than anything else. I think of TopDown and Isometric, this render is just a perspective I like. Here goes a big thank you to Antal Kéninger for his inspirational maps for Lord ZseZse works.

That's gorgeous! Have you played around with "filling" the ground outside the wall like people do with the 2d ones?
There is a very faint grid outside the area. I have to put it on another render layer as it is an image mapped to a plane and does not play nice with the current lighting setup. But yes, it´s on the "grid" ( pun intended...).
That looks very good Troedel! Which tools did you use?
I started to learn Houdini and watched a part of this tutorial series yesterday. Transfer it to dungeon walls
Mainly Blender, Zbrush and Substance Painter and a little bit of post in Photoshop. I imagine all can be done in Blender itself even if it is a bit more inconvenient.
I´ve got a little bit of experience in Houdini, dabbling around in building procedural walls and pillars. Combined with the Substance integration I imagine it could be extremly well suited to build these kind of structures. Initially the learning curve isn´t too steep but once you get to the point of making it look organic and natural Houdini is a beast to master. But you will see
Wow, that looks really great so far. I just wish I had the time and stomach to get into Blender...
Awesome work. The depth of field and the photo real textures make it look like it is made from miniatures. I also think the subtle point lights (not sure what you call them in blender) highlighting certain areas works great because you have the warm glow against the cool brick.
Now the fun and tedious work of adding props has started.... THX for all your kind words
