Wow, that is a really good model, really light, whats your secret with the coat?

I'm not sure what you mean by "secret", so I'll break it down:

Modeling: The coat is apart of the same mesh as his torso/upper body; the head/hair/hat, short sleeves, long sleeves ,wrists, hands, are seperate mesh from the coat/torso.  

Rigging: To get the coat to deform as I wanted, I used 25 joints, (could have probably used less, but the deformation of coat would not be as articulate?

Texturing: I used a simple toon shader in maya with 3 duplicate textures: one default colors, and the other 2 darker and solid black respectively, I renders as such based on the lighting (the light is moving around the model in the turn-around).

I hope I answered your question somewhere in there :]
