heres some needless confusion:
if it was centered on the floor in milkshape, bringing it into game and
rotating it -90 degress on the X axis in the game would make it right, it
wouldnt move it off of the origin :P
but it's good that models won't need to be rotated or scaled when placed
into the world!
