UDK - Ludus Teaser

Sequence of teaser clips from my current WIP game level project - from the TV series Spartacus Blood and Sand - first time using UDK. Ive mostly been using 3Dsmax and Blender for static mesh work, level blocking in UDK and Gimp/Photoshop for 2D texture work.

Fps is a bit low and choppy, I used fraps to screencapture straight from the game window. For the final clips I'll use Manitee's render features for a proper high quality render.

Ive worked on this for ~25 hours so far, still got a lot of detail to add and overall polish, need to work on most of the shots so far, plus a lot of the interior needs more work and objects. Id also like to replace more of the materials and static mesh objects that Ive used from the UDK library with my own objects, depending on how much time I have to make them. I'll be putting together the final cinematic clip over the next couple of weeks including the Logo sting clip I posted a few weeks ago, both projects are related.




The 'Ludus' is based on the Ludus in the TV series 'Spartacus Blood and Sand' and 'Gods of the Arena', I did a lot of preproduction, including drawing up some blueprints for reference from scenes in the series. A Ludus is a roman building where gladiators are trained for battle, the upper story is a nicer villa where the house owner and their slaves live.
Music is from the series soundtrack - Six against One by Joseph LoDuca

This is really great looking! Nice job :)

Is there any way I could get the blueprints for the ludus? I want to recreate it in the game Minecraft, but from stills and the episodes itself it's really hard to tell, where exactly all the chambers are located :(

This... Is... amazing O_o. Will it be released once finished? I'm currently starting a Gladiator game, of course inspired by Spartacus. This looks great :).
