Try my physics demo?

Hi I saw the great character physics in UT 2K3 and tried to implement it myself, to limited success... Getting the physics to work didn''t take very long, but positioning the model according to the physics skeleton is downright impossible! I''ve tried everything.... If nobody can help me than I plan to give up, since I''ve spent too much time on this already... Anyway, this is what I have at the moment. I''m confident I can fix the bugs with the physics, but if I can''t figure out how to draw the model over the skeleton then there''s no point... Right now this is how I''m trying to do it: I calculate the directional vector from the root joint in the physics skeleton to a child joint and then calculate the rotation required to go from the initial directional vector to this current one... and then apply the rotation to vertices that are attached to the bone corresponding to this joint on the model. (the model uses skeletal animation) But this looks terrible! I have no idea what else to do... Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks
