Mesh uploads as twisted garbage (search didn't answer)

[HarrisonMcKenzie]

I've been trying to upload any weighted mesh for some time now, and nothing works. I have boiled the problem down to the barest elements, and nothing works.

Taking the standard Linden Labs skeleton, putting it into 3DS Max, and then exporting it as a DAE gives me this.

Absolutely nothing was done to any part of the model except removin the non-mBones from the DAE file, since the file wouldn't upload with them.

Somebody please tell me what is going on. I searched for an answer here and found nothing. I've talked to people in world and gotten no answers. Every change I make, different skeleton I use, or different appraoch I take just gives me similar twisted up garbage.

This is how it works for me with 3ds Max 2015:

1) I have set my System Units, Display Units to Centimeters.
2) Downloaded the Skeleton from here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh/Rigging_Fitted_Mesh#Download_links
3) Imported the Skeleton.Male.dae file with File units converted to: Centimeters, on import.
4) Selected the BaseMesh > Export Selected with Scene units converted to: Meters. UpAxis: Z-Up.
5) Pasted the entire mBones list after the bones which are in the dae file already. (doesn't matter if it will have duplicate bones)

Voila

Thank you so much. It worked. Now to see if I can upload anything that I make.
