Thanks again, Little Dragon. I stayed up way too late last night.. and am suffering now. I've decided this whole project will be easier if I paint the Ragman's outfit onto his head and body. I have the Michael seam guides, and that seems to be the best thing for the painting job. The nice thing about the seam guides, is that it will help make sure things line up correctly! Of course I'd use the super morphs to take care of the ears and stuff. The advantages of this approach: 1.) One less prop 2.) The texture will most likely work on both Musclebound Mike and "regular Mike." So far I haven't found a cape/hood combination that will do the job on its own. The biggest features of the Ragman cape are the huge tatters, and that long rope or string that flowa around him. How would I go about making holes in a cape? Transparency maps? How do I accomplish those? How do I make that string? I don't think I can manage to make it poseable. That would be way beyond a "newbie project."
