Staticprops (models where the $staticprop flag is checked in WWMT) do not have this problem.
To solve bone offset/orientation problems, here is how you should approach setting up the model and the WWMT helper. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT NECESSARY FOR $staticprop!
When doing complex models, (with multiple nodes, bones and/or skin) here are some helpful tips:
- DO NOT USE THE ROTATED option for origin with rigged models.
- If you want to use the Local Origin option on a rigged model, the root bone should usually be aligned to the world.
