-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] It's the matrix transform of a model. It defines the orientation, location and scale. The bone structure is what animates your model, and its tied directly with each poly/tri of the model. This is why you can increase, decrease, and skew the model like it got squished like a pancake. This also only works with non-static prop models. I"m not entirely sure why though.
This is how engine's draw models to your screen. They're model file contains a sort of matrix along with vertex data (each point of a poly/tri). Then if the engine wanted to rotate the model, all it had to do was rotate the matrix and each vertex will be rotated as well. But since these things carry animations, you want to scale the bone structure as well, so the animations get scaled too.
