Yeah, it is the Hal cape. If you take out the texture and choose a color from the material room, no matter what settings you use, you get wierd line artifacts. If you make the cape wider, then you get a two toned effect with a jagged line dividing the colors. Other than that, the cape conforms nicely. If you have time, try taking out the texture and do as I described and see what you get....and thanks for the help! I'll try some of those links you suggested....
