WipEout HD is the first entry in the series on the Playstation 3. The game is largely a high-definition remake of past elements from the WipEout series, including tracks and teams from the Playstation Portable games, WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse, whilst adding some new features to the franchise. The high-definition upgrade allows the game to render graphics output at 1080p resolution with a frame rate of 60 fps. My role on WipEout HD was ship artist, seeing the ingame assets through from creation to their final ingame state.
With WipEout HD being a remake of previous Playstation Portable games, our art breif was to 'res up' the existing ships. We had to take the existing ship designs from WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse, and stick very closely to the originals, we did have some some design scope, but the finished HD ship had to look familiar to a player that will have seen the PsP version.

Can you send me the 3d model?

Although I've yet to pick up WipEout HD and Playstation 3, I can see easily how much time and effort you guys put in. Fantastic work!
I'll be uploading the WipEout 2048 ships soon, (in a week hopefully)
Hope you like them just as much!
