Re: uh oh, weird deforming

Its supposed to deform the geometry... human meshes are generally a single mesh -- so the only way to animate them is shift around the verticies weighted depending on distance to joint (though like McKinley said -- they just guess and 99% of the time you need to specify manually)

Don't know how to do it personally (yet) or else I'd help you. Sorry.
