Geometry missing

I tried following the tutorial here
http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/images/3/39/Maya2dts_skinned_mesh_tutorial.pdf
and when I export the geometry doesn't show up in the Show Tool. Here's the hyper graph:

I plainer mapped the UV coordinates and tried to give the thing a texture but it doesn't show up in maya. I don't really know much about texturing in maya. Does it have to have a texture to show up in the Show Tool? What else could be the problem?

The bones and animation came out fine, however there is no geometry.

Look in the dump file see if the mesh exported if so Check your mesh normals and see if they face outif there in the model wood look transparent.

Thanks for your response Dave! I checked the dump file and the geometry did export. I also checked the normals and they are facing out. Any other ideas?

thats hard to answer.

With out looking at the model and how you went about setting it up and texturing thats hard to answer.

Since you have no "Weapon1" It will draw your model, but only when it becomes less than 1 pixel on the screen. Also you need to register your collision hull with a "collision_1" marker (just rename a detail node) and rename your collision object to "col_1". do lowercase, I think it matters with the 8.5 exporter or at least it did for me.

Delete your detail marker "detail1".Since you have no "Weapon1" It will draw your model, but only when it becomes less than 1 pixel on the screen.
