Animation Node Defines a node in an animation graph.

Syntax: node [node type] [node_name]      Properties      Key Lists endnode

Description: An animation node matches a node with the same name in the model's scene graph. It has a serries of key lists that define an animation to apply to that node. Animation nodes are sometimes dummy nodes and sometimes the same node type as the geometry being animated. Replacing one node type with another seems to be allowed for animation nodes in the model viewer.

Properties: parent [node_name] - the parent node in the tree. All nodes have this property. Top level nodes use NULL. The following three properties are optional: position [X] [Y] [Z] - The position in 3d space of this node. orientation [X-Axis] [Y-Axis] [Z-Axis] [rotation_ammount] - the node is rotated around the axis given in x,y,z wirecolor [red] [green] [blue] - This probably defines the color for the object's wireframe.
