Heya MirukuBaby,

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 either:
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

You can also find more information and an alternative workaround on these 2 blog posts by Inara Pey:

• https://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/12/13/amd-catalyst-drivers-additional-windows-workaround/

Or...
If you are happy using beta driver versions, update to the new AMD 15.3 beta catalyst version - this driver has a fix for the bug.
See https://modemworld.wordpress.com/2015/03/21/amds-catalyst-15-3-beta-driver-offers-sl-mesh-fix/ for details.

Remember to tick "Hardware skinning" in graphics preferences again once you changed your driver version.

Hope that helps :)
