After replaying some Castlevania: Lords of Shadows on my summer break from school I had the urge to work on a new small environment based off of the concept art from the game. I wanted to do something a bit different that I don't normally see from environments in UDK.

So I am focusing on a graveyard concept from the game, with several others for inspiration.
Below is the 3 main concepts I'm using with the majority of it coming from the graveyard. I am also working out some shaders before I get to in depth with this scene just to make sure I have the knowledge to be able to finish it.

First pass on the blockout:
My goal for this is to be a an environment completed in UDK while keeping in mind that the platform I am going for is PS3, Xbox360.
