strecthing model data im not totally sure.

one other problem you may be facing is proper rotation.
are you plotting more then one keyframe for the rotation.?

imagine starting the limb at rotation zero.
then rotating to the keyframe and degrees 179, then
reapeating hte process up to degree 359.

most animation packages will just animate from degree zero to degree 359 but it will take the shortest path and appear not to animate, when all it has done is move 1 degree to achieve the result.

adding the keyframes will help in the animation path process.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

I has this problem when I first tried. Am I right in thinking you are using global rotation?

if you are, this is the problem. After you rotate about 10 bones in the same line:

Starting in my case at the waist, then the torso, then the arm, the elbow, then the forearm, then the hand... if you rotated each of these joints on global rotation, by the time you reached the hand, it goes crazy. Mete (Its creator) does know of this problem, although I believe as of yet hasn't found a way to fix it.

The only work around for now is to select rotation to local. Local rotation is somewhat more difficult than global.
