I parent the armature to my mesh, do some weight painting and

i press P to play and my character is inside out?!?

any ideas?

Maybe normal direction is wrong?
Select faces in Edit mode, press w, flip normal
Worth a try:)

You can also select the offending faces and press Ctrl-N to calculate the normals automatically, though this doesn’t always work perfectly. However, if there are faces that are still off, you can use dokinkon’s ‘W + Flip Normal’ method (this is Blender 2.5, by the way).
