BB8 - Star Wars fan art

I am sure you guys have seen many different version of BB8 on the web, so I hope my own recreation of this newest droid does not bore you. For this piece, I aim for a more current gen look, so polycount is medium. Also, I try to be faithful to the original one as much as possible. C & C are always welcomed.

Cheers.

oooooh interesting... So something you could do to avoid the harsh highlight directly below his "head", would be to duplicate the bottom sphere and scale it outward a tiny amount. give it a completely black material with no reflections at all, and then alpha it so that it creates a false permanent shadow at the top of the sphere under the "head".

That way you could have this thing animated/have the bottom sphere rotated in any configuration and the shadow would always remain static in relation to the head.

@ Almighty: thanks for the feedback, it is surely an inventive way to fix that "highlight", I will try for sure.
