Skeleton does not look like a skeleton and does not work with common animation libs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've never seen a skeleton with a master floor joint, nor with connections from 
that joint to the hips and wrists.

Export any model as Collada DAE, and attempt to import into the Mixamo 
animation library website. After applying reasonable mappings between your 
skeleton and the mixamo skeleton, you will get errors because there is more 
than one path to get from the root joint to the wrists (through the previously 
mentioned master floor joint), making the model unusable with their animations 
(and I suspect with the animations from many other libraries).

I am a programmer and not an artist so I have no idea how to solve this by 
removing the offending joint. Perhaps you should consider looking over various 
sources for animations and select a skeleton style that is more compatible with 
those sources.

Why export to dae? Just use the mhx format on the nightly builds.

There's different kinds of rigs you can export to.
Try choosing a different rig when exporting to DAE. Maybe there's one that 
works better.

Maybe this issue and http://code.google.com/p/makehuman/issues/detail?id=94 can 
be marked as duplicates?
