Hi, I think the animation library looks great but I got some problems when trying to use it.

I have exported a mesh to .X, which can be viewed by DirectX Viewer without any problems. (Can play animation, display diffuse texture)

Here is how I used the library:
I only want to use the animation part from KW Animation Library. From my expectation, the animation library will give me an array of bone matrices after certain calculations. Then I can use that bone matrices as effect parameter and perform hardware skinning.

My work flow is:

1. Add the .X file into content and set the Content Processor as "Animation Processor - Kilo Watt
2. Under "ForceSkinnedShader", I enter my skinned shader name

At runtime:

1. 3 objects can be obtained from the loaded model's tag
   - InverseBindPose
   - AnimationSet
   - BoundsInfo
2. I create an AnimationInstance from AnimationSet
3. At Update, AnimationInstance.Advance(dt) was called
4. At Draw, (sorry for posting the source code)
   

   mSkinnedModel.CopyAbsoluteBoneTransformsTo(tempTransforms);
   mAnimationInstances[0].CopyPoseTo(tempTransforms);
   for (int i = 0; i < mSkinnedBones.Length; ++i)
   {
     SkinnedBone sb = mSkinnedBones[i];
     Matrix.Multiply(ref sb.InverseBindTransform,
                     ref tempTransforms[sb.Index], 
                     out mTransforms[i]);
   }

   
   mSkinnedBones was the InversedBindPose from model's tag
   mTransforms will be used as effect parameter

That's how I used it. However, the rendered model was a mess. Is there anything wrong for my usage?

Many Thanks.
