Unreal Models
Ducati 996 as modeled in Maya PLE
I am big fan of first person shooter video games, especially the Unreal
series.  Unreal Tournament 2004 introduces vehicles to the battle.  As
soon as I found out from my brother that you can actually model and
script your own vehicles and weapons for Unreal I knew I had to make a
motorcycle.  The Ducati 996 is an obvious choice, first because I am a fan
of sport bikes especially Italian ones, and secondly because it is the bike
of Matrix Reloaded fame (Highway chase scene with Trinity).  I have
gotten this far the actual 3D modeling is nearly complete I now need to
script and texture the model and begin testing.  I believe I will make it a
two passenger because I do not think that I want to add weapons to the
motorcycle itself so the passenger will be able to retain his current
weapon choice when he hops on with the driver and will be able to shoot
while in motion. I will update this page as the bike progresses.  My
brother is becoming quiet proficient in level design with Unreal Ed.. we
have plans of making a level with freeways...  perhaps a team capture the
flag level.  Both should be available for download as soon as they are
completed.  Check back often for updates.
