Sadly, I drifted off schedule a little too much and I don't think it's feasible any more to continue having a long coat for Caruso as I would have to rig that and animate it. He still looks very good with a cropped though...I'd say it's made hardly any difference to his overall character.
If the project was more long term it would be nice to give Caruso a long coat again because it adds to the overall immersion of a game's world when items on the character react to the player's controlled actions. For now, it's priority to get at least some animations on Caruso so he can be used in the game Engine.
