ah, this has been causing me all manner of problems recently. panda exporter stipulates that bones can only be affected by 4 bones as a max, meaning the best thing to do, is to give each vert a weight of 1, and only assign it to one bone. To do this, you're best to use bones, and the skin modifer, and then use the skinordie tools, however, i did all this, and it still came out borked.
so, at the moment, i'm learning milkshape, as that's .x exporter actually works, which is novel.
i wish discreet would just produce their own exporter, it'd actually work then!
