This should be possible for an experienced author using a subpart technique,
if we divide the cape up into subparts along the fold lines. When tessilated
in a single plane these subparts could represent the unfolded part - this
should probably by the regular part number file. When combined into an
irregular polyhedron in 3-D they would appear as a wearable cape - this
could use a .....c01.dat name. There would be thickness considerations and
some complex geometry to solve, but I think this could work.
