Pretty cool. Just messing with the materials reflections and diffuse of each material can make a big difference. If you use mental ray and render with global illumination it'll will give you amazing results. Using HDR images as your background will give you realistic reflections and indirect lighting.

Hi there , sorry to bother you, but I want to make a little request . Can you make this model into patterns and make it some format that can be read by papekura viewer . I really want to do a Seraphimon Cosplay , but I'm just getting into papekura ,crafting with foam and 3d models and stuff like that . If you understand what I'm asking , could you spare some of you're time and make the patterns/parts of this costume ?

Oh and P.S. Really nice model it's just looks epic , I personally really like it !

Goodness, I don't think I could even find the file again. This project is over a year old, was never finished, and got lost somewhere on my hard drive.
However, if I found it again it wouldn't help you anyway. This is a high poly model consisting out of thousands of polygons, being extremely unfit for papercraft. I am planning to recreate it as a "decent" model though at some point this year, likely in summer holidays but possibly after coming January. If you have the patience for this I would gladly fulfill your request

Actually I think I can wait , yes . Thank for taking on this task ^_^ . I was planing on cosplaying Seraphimon on an event in spring , but there will be another big convention in autumn so maybe I could manage it for then .

Thank you! God, I just realized it's been over a year since I worked on this o.O
If I ever get on this again I guess I better start from scratch, had no idea what I was doing here for pose-ability etc

At one point I'll probably do a Digimon again, maybe Beelzemon now that I have had a bit of experience on humanoid modeling, but I can't guarantee anything unfortunately. Always busy here

Nice modeling. Ok so your mats could use a few things.

You can add maps to your materials that do certain things. Learning to add diffuse, specular, bump, reflection, and displacement (if you use mudbox or zbrush(which are awesome!!)) are good places to start.

Yes indeed, I am planning to use maps for adding scratches, maybe some rust etc as well, but I got the feeling that right now the mats just don't look like (perfect) metal. It doesn't look like armorplating, and I'm looking for a few tricks right now to get that fixed first. Anyway thanks for the advice

Thank you. I am looking for advice on the materials though, I want them to look a lot better. I'm using 3Ds Max for this (2010, I think, might be 11 though).
