I'm not mad at you at all! I am pretty mad at me because this shouldn't be kicking my butt like it is.

I am going to start a new emblem probably tonight. If I can't get it to go, I will make the emblem a smart prop and see if that makes any difference. I will just chose not to follow the bends of the parent and it should stay undeformed when I pose him.

Dynamics are fairly simple once you get the hang of it. I'll include a tutorial with the package that shows how I get the cape to do what I want. That should get you started, and since I know you have a vivid imagination, you can take it a whole lot further. 

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
