   I'll probably be tweaking this one off an on for a bit, but, I have gotten to that stage where I just need to step back and leave it alone for a while. (One part irks me... but I'll wait and see if it is mentioned)

   Anyway, it is always a fun challenge trying to recapture the exact details of well known hardware we have all used, or have vivid memories of... I think this is close?.

   People ask me about the release date of OpenEmu, so, I still won't say (thats suicide), but, it's seriously rough round the edges, but its getting there. Its at a happy stage of development :).

   UPDATE: quick test playing around with the shine and luminosity of various elements... click this blue stuff.

   Looks amazing... but one thing. Turn up the shiny :) this part should not be blurred more than 2px, and probably have a small bevel highlight as well. In general, most of your highlights need a white "core" to them, even if very small. I love the top part to pieces... the detail on the connection cord, the d-pad are all great and I love how subtle the grain texture on the body is.

   Photo ref, very shiny :)

   Thanks Ollin. It was one of those ones where I wish I had the physical controller myself to hold and reference (I was a Nintendo kid :/) ...struggled with how shiney to make those parts while also matching the lighting I've done for all the other controllers so didn't look out of place.

   They all looked different in every photo ref I pulled... and then there was this with the uber shiny: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sega-Genesis-6But-Cont.jpg

   I'll come back to it at the weekend and see how I feel and tweak accordingly. Play with the levels and tweak the highlights. For now, its bedtime here in Blighty and I...zzzz.

   Looks wonderful. I'll echo the "needs to be more sharp/shiny" statement. Also, the top buttons need to look a little more convex, they feel a little flat and too softened.

   This is just nitpicking though. You could leave it as is and it would still be perfectly fine.

   On the shiny feedback...

   Had to have a quick test before bed, or I'd wake up way too early before work and start playing around...

   So see the attachment under the original shot called 'LIGHTENED' as a quick test of tweaking the luminosity/sheen of various elements.

   Or, just click all this blue crap and see it straight away without scrolling back up...

   I agree with Ollin saying turn up the shiny. Looks amazing though so far. Great work, David.
