I have base, and shape dummy's as the root.
dummy named rifle, and detail 2 dummy off of shape. and the rifle mesh attached to the rifle dummy.
The bones are in the root as well.
I set keyframes at frame 0, and at the end of the Sequence timeline.

Rifle and detail2 dummies off of shape. SRifle Mesh attached to rifle dummy.
I added keys at the start and end of the sequence. Like I said the shape exports fine, but the resulting .dsq is only 4b large.

What could be my problem then? I have shape, base, sequence and bones at the root. Rifle and detail2 dummies off of shape. SRifle Mesh attached to rifle dummy.

The model should not get exported. The only thing exported should be the bones, dummies(nodes), and animation. Post a pic of your tree and mabie we could better help.Marrion Cox

The animation is a bone/skin animation.

Yes I will post a screenshot later tonight when I get home from work. The animation is a bone/skin animation.

So what is the problem? I am reading through this and I don't have a clear understanding of the problem that is trying to be fixed.

Have you checked which transform flags are set to export? That's tripped me up a couple of times.

If you still have problems you should upload your model so that we can take a look, it would allow us to help you faster.

You said you have the bones setup at the root of your scene? If so this is incorrect, bones/biped data should be a part of the DTS hierarchy tree, they should not be seperate from the tree.If you still have problems you should upload your model so that we can take a look, it would allow us to help you faster.
