Multiple Issues Help PineTree model animation. ModelEditor viewer = crash!

I did check the .dae file, and it reads the technique as "OpenCOLLADAMaya" And I thought I did have FBX enabled in the plugins manager but it was disabled all along.

then of course theres the influences thing, but most importantly baking the keys!

My model does have baked animations, and maximum of 3 influences. I only have 1 joint for the tree model. Starting from the base to the top. Then I sway it back and forth with the axis. The only thing I have not done yet is actually adding weight to the model, but is it necessary? If I don't add weights and just normalize the existing weights that are default, it will still crash in the model editor upon testing the animations. I think HPL2 just hates me.

not quite sure I understand, how the fuck would your model even animate without weights?
but yeah they should be normalized.

Well it animates fine in Maya 2011, but I think since I did not even apply painted weights to the model, I think that may be the case of why the model is crashing in the ModelEditor's test animation menu.
