I am working with this model: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/male-character-rigged-mixamo-x-free/515398

I convert it into ogre-format and test it using the ogre sample to checkout it's skeleton and animations. The skeleton lines up fine. When I animate it, however, it is not the same as in 3ds max. In 3ds max it is just stretching out all the limbs symmetrically, but now it looks like this when I animate:
notice the right arm and it's skeleton are all crumpled into a ball, while the left is stretching more than it should. Any advice is greatly appreciated, I have been spending a lot of time on this. 

Yes, I can use those models already, but I am trying to get other models. As for the 'faulty' models, the skeletons of these models appear to be in the right place when I view them in the sample, too.

I used a model like this: http://tf3dm.com/3d-model/low-poly-character-rigged-47686.html
and: http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/43394

I have been doing skeletal animation on the ninja model and the seymour model and it works good. I am trying to use other models, though. When I used the models above, the limbs would kind-of move but they would stretch a lot for some reason. It was strange.
The affected limb would kinda do something like this: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090426053157/halo/images/b/b4/72096526-Full.jpg

Like I said, I am doing the exact same thing on the sample models and it works fine. The skeletons of these models are in the right place when I view them in the sample, too.

It briefly mentions it in this article: http://www.jpct.net/wiki/index.php?title=Exporting_from_Blender_to_Bones

Preparing

 1.   Place your model AND armature in position 0,0,0. Then, ensure it's applied: Ctrl+A_key and select Location from the menu.

I just didn't heed it's warnings 

You're right, there's a 90 angle of rotation being applied to the mesh in Blender. Can I somehow finalize this rotation or something?

This is what it looks like in the ogre demo. What do you think I should do? The skeleton is in the proper position, but the mesh is obviously not. Also, just to remind, when I tried to make the model move like I did on a previous model the model did not move. Thanks for the help btw

I am looking for some models that look kinda like this: http://tf3dm.com/download-page.php?url=low-poly-character-rigged-47686
I am not asking for much, just simple people models that work with Bones. Will this guy work for me, or are there better alternatives? He appears to be only available in the blender format.

Isn't there a simple solution to just rotating a bone on a joint? I feel like the targetJoint function could rotate a bone if I changed the jointBindPose. I will keep looking into this. Thank you for your advice.
