Because of star Andy Whitfield’s tragic illness, the second season of Spartacus was a prequel – the arena that formed the centerpiece of the Series One didn’t exist yet!
We were still kept very busy with previs, set extensions and creating an improved version of the hilltop Ludus environment while the politics of Capua’s new arena played out on screen.
The storyline concluded with the Arena’s blood-soaked opening, and we were back in the swing of crowd behaviours and arena render passes, this time with shiny new textures and additional added banners and detailing.
