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. boneLimit numMeshes numRLE meshBoneRemapIndices
