Church of the poisoned mind.....

Well having got the stage where I had to ask UDK to step outside for a moment and sorting our differences out with a good ole round of fisticuffs, we now see eye to eye.

After 3 re-installs, many pots of coffee and infinite expletives, I have finished blocking out my church design.  It's quite dark and eerie at the moment.  I've only added a couple of point lights so far and there is only the moonlight coming through the roof to light the scene (cue the wolves....awoooooo.....).

Here is a view from the top of the main staircase on the top level...

To the death..... Amen

For our next assignment we have to design an build a death match level using UDK3.

My design is going to based on a  church or cathedral, which I thought would be quite an interesting to architecturally and I would be able to get lots of height into the level and lots of nooks an crannies to run around and hide in.

I did some research on the the layout of churches and found that they are mainly based around the cruciform ground plan, so will need to incorporate that into the design.

I also want to have some kind of outside space that the player can run around in so have decided to have a lake of fire and brimstone surrounding the church with various walkways across to add peril to the game.

 I have done some basic sketches of how I think the level should look, and then copied then out onto graph paper to make sure the different floor aligned correctly to scale.

 I finally decided to set the level on 3 level with an outside area on the ground level.

So now to start building it in UDK..........
