Here’s my first attempt at any thing to do with Star Wars, The Jedi Training remote. I gave it an updated look other then just being all white.

I'll admit that after reading the title my curiosity simply wouldn't let me pass this thread without taking a look.

Nice model but I find the red just a little too eye-searing and the whole thing is perhaps a bit too clean, I would have gone for something that made it look a little bit more 'used'. The one thing the Star Wars universe really does well is making things look worn, if not totally beat-up. Chipped paint, worn areas with primer or bare metal showing through, maybe a replacement part that doesn't match the orignal colour.

Make it look like this Jedi likes to play with his balls frequently and give them a good hard workout. :D

LoL.. I thought if I had a dude lifting up his robe displaying his training units I might get banned. so I went with this.;) I'm working on a bump map with scratches and stuff. Thanks for the critic on the lights, it's dose seem a little bright.:thumbsup:

Nice, I think it could benifit from a darker color, maybe slightly more reflective and some shadows. Hmmm... maybe you could bevel The edges of the glowy things to and maybe diffuse the glow out more to make them have more depth. You said your working ond sratches and junk too,so I think your on the right path :) good luck on becoming the master of jedi balls.

The model is good but the texture...Theres sth missing you know, maybe some rusty parts and dust to make it more realistic...I mean, its to clean!
But dont take it wrong, i like the model and its very similar to the original one from the movies. Just try to fix the texture and it'll be damn better ^^
Keep up the good work!
