the binding matrix for each bone is the inverse of the bone's
transformation when it was attached (or bound) to the mesh. This is
needed because when the bone has the exact same transformation as at
binding time you don't want vertex positions to be affected, i.e. the
transformation matrix applied to a vertex should be the identity. When
the bone is moved away from the binding transformation you want the
vertices affected by the difference between the bone's current
transformation and its transformation at binding time, which you get by
multiplying with the binding matrix (= inverse of transformation at
binding time).
Cheers,
