Icaras - PlayStation3 In game model
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.

Glad you enjoy WipEout! I'm currently rendering all my WipEout 2048 ships (PsVita) .. hoping to have them uploaded in 2 \ 3 weeks or so.
I like the Icaras too! It part inspired some of my 2048 ships in places. Its just a nice simple shape.
Hope you managed to finally finish HD

Sadly I still never finished HD but I have WipEout Fury now so maybe, someday...
so much wipEout to get through!
I've heard things about 3D WipEout, I think my brain would melt if I ever saw it though.
Thanks for you comments.. and yes there is a 3D WipEout HD.. it comes free with Bravia 3DTvs at the moment.. and it will be on the psn store soon... if not already, as a downloadable patch!
