I added the skull on her shirt as an Iray decal, but it doesn't move with her during the animation. I've played with the setttings and I can't figure out how to make it stick to her shirt. Or is there a better method I could be using to put a logo on clothing that wouldn't have this problem?

    You have to parent the decal to the shirt, possibly the shirt hip.

    I dont think that decals are going to be your best option for animation though. I think you have to do some work in photoshop or gimp or whatever to create a singular texture for the shirt. Decals arent the way to go for dynamic anymation. Mnd you, I have very little animatio experience, but what I know technically about decals seems that they would leave alot to be desired for animation.

    Thanks, I was worried I'd have to resort to custom textures. Oh well, I figured I'd have to learn how to do that at some point anyway. Thanks!

    You can take the decal's texture file and use it as an overlay, or Layered Image. Requires a little finesse, tracking down files and making them fit, maybe an opacity map, saving new presets...

    Its easier than you would think. And it will cause you alot less frustration than trying to get decals positioned correctly in your animation. Good Luck!
