Dark Age of Camelot, Mark Jones

Allowing thousands of players to adventure, grow,and even fight one another, Dark Age of Camelot is set in Europe's mythological past.Incorporating Arthurian legends, Norse mythology,and Irish Celtic lore.

After finishing up monsters on Morrowind I began work on DAoC. I came in near the end of the project to supply monster design, models and textures. With some animation thrown in too. The models ranged between 500-1000 poygons, somewhat less than Morrowind which varied from 1000-5000. I would supply a sketch of the propossed creature based on a description, then once the necessary modifications had been made I began design and texturing. On this page you will find some of the creatures I worked on. More detail can be found by clicking each graphic.

'Sea Creature' Click on the graphic for more details!

Sea Creature Another variant on the above, which, believe it or not, use the same skeleton and animations. In this case supplied by Chris Ondrus (SkyNET).

Creatures CLick on the graphics to view creatures I worked on for Morrowind

Wight CLick on the graphic to view more details.

Cockatrice The Basilisk variant. In Lore the cockatrice became synonamous with the Basilisk, but were earlier quite distinct.

The Ettin This was a variant of the Ogre that used the same skeleton and animations. This saves memory, and if done right, gives us two creatures relatively quickly and easily.

The Ogre With his original texture. It was later changed as it was felt it looked too "Quake-ish". The current texture is much darker, but I thought it would be interesting to see an early version of it. Click on the graphic for a more detailed looked at the creation of this creature.

Insectoid Clcik on this character to view some pre-production sketches.

Scorpion The scorpion shares the same skeleton and animations as the crab.

Another Insectoid Another variant on the Insectoid theme.
