OK so after a lot of research I finally managed to make a cape (a simpler version of a cloak) that has thickness to it, moves ok and looks ok. Next I’ll try make one with a hood, i.e. a full cloak. Its white in order to allow the colour to be easily changed in the instanced material. I’m going to have to redo the spaulders as it isnt shaped to be compatible with a cape/cloak. I’ll also add some fixtures to the breastplate so that the cloak can appear to be fixed to it with a little hook going through a metal loop.
