Most of the work I do is based on assets that are 'ready for skinning'. No scale, no.. shenanigans in general lol Sounds like what you're trying to do is based on (bear with me here) bad authoring practices.
I'm a little unsure of your reply though, I'm not sure if you sorted it out or not ;) BTW back in the day, I learned a *lot *from "Comet", great to hear you reference him. That said, I like to address stuff like this. If you can provide me with the data you're working with, I can see if I can sort it all out.
