Mesh poses tear after being exported from XSI.

I have exported a simple shape (sphere) with 3 poses created in the shape manager. The poses are one neutral(does nothing to the shape), one which approximates the sphere looking like a blood cell and the last which makes it look stretched like an egg shape. This is just a test exercise before I work on a face model.

I get it working in a test application and it runs through the poses in a looped linear fashion and I can use some CEGUI scrollbars to activate them manually and blend them (after I stop the animation loop), but in both cases the mesh seems to tear itself as it's animating/being blended from one pose to another. Only the original shape looks like it should (the sphere). The blending doesn't look like it did when I played around in the XSI shape manager where all poses would blend smoothly. Is there something I should be doing to the mesh before I export it?.

Any help is much appreciated.

Rich.

Hmm, it could be that there's some transformation state on the base model which isn't being taken into account, but I thought I'd coped with this, since the Dr Bunsen example in XSI is similarly transformed in it's base position and the export didn't work until I catered for it. Other tests I've done have been ok too.

Please can you send me your test model and I'll take a look at it.
