When importing into the mesh editor the mesh is fine but all my bones are reoriented and rescaled. Oddly enough this doesn't distort the mesh any. other than the odd bone potions everything looks fine. when I drag in an animation and "choose import animation to current skeleton/mesh" if only bone rotations are keyed the animation distorts the mesh correctly yet the bones are still in the wrong places. if any bones in the animation have location or scale keys. positions are sometimes reversed its just a crazy mess.
I get the same problem when exporting psa/psk.

Thanks

You could attach the blend+psk+psa+dae files (all of them) so I could test them.

it seems that the distortion has more to do with whether a keyed bone is central, head spine ect. or a limb. maybe has something to do with blenders mirroring? although I can't see how that would cause the bone reorienting.

Opps. it didn't attach my zip file.

OK file was to big I'll separate it.

The thing is Blender produces invalid dae/psk/psa files, correct dae files can be made in 3ds max using open collada plugin, and psk/psa using 3ds max ActorX plugin.
For blender please wait for next sdk release, and then use the B3D plugin from documentation.

I was afraid of that.
Thanks for the help.
