Heya Deft,

Please see BUG-7653 for this bug.

The latest AMD Catalyst Omega 14.12 release graphics driver (8.17.0010.1333) has a known bug which causes all rigged mesh to be invisible unless hardware skinning is disabled.
You are currently using this buggy driver version.

If you disable hardware skinning under Me -> Preferences -> Graphics -> Advanced, this will work around the problem but it isn't an ideal solution.

The best workaround for now is to roll back your graphics drivers to the Catalyst 14.9 release or the Catalyst 14.4 release version.
Older AMD drivers can be found here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous?os=Windows
