Hm, I think the question mark had featured somewhere on the costume even as far
back as Tom Baker, if I remember correctly. Although not as prominently. Most
people disliked McCoy's interpretation of the character rather than the costume,
which was positively spartan after Colin Baker's psychedelic coat.

This won't work will it, all edges pointing at the camera will show up. That
trick worked well with the Daz mesh because the curved body shape only had
low-angle triangles at its horizon.

Or, staying with the mesh idea, using only single-sided triangles perhaps?
