numBones

numBoneIds

maxNumWeightsPerVertex

boneIds

vertexBoneIndices

Vertex bone indices are represented with 4 bone indices per each vertex.

vertexBoneWeights

Vertex bone weights are represented with RwMatrixWeights structure per each vertex.

skinToBoneMatrices

These are inverted matrices represented with RwMatrix structure.
