    @remarks
        This class is intended as a base for more complete classes which will actually
        animate specific types of object, e.g. a bone in a skeleton to affect
        skeletal animation. An animation will likely include multiple tracks each of which
        can be made up of many KeyFrame instances. Note that the use of tracks allows each animable
        object to have it's own number of keyframes, i.e. you do not have to have the
        maximum number of keyframes for all animable objects just to cope with the most
        animated one.
    @remarks
        Since the most common animable object is a Node, there are options in this class for associating
        the track with a Node which will receive keyframe updates automatically when the 'apply' method
        is called.
	@remarks
		By default rotation is done using shortest-path algorithm.
		It is possible to change this behaviour using
		setUseShortestRotationPath() method.

            value indicating the value of 't' representing where the time index falls between them.
            E.g. if it returns 0, the time index is exactly on keyFrame1, if it returns 0.5 it is

            value is, e.g. 0.0 for exactly at 1, 0.25 for a quarter etc. By definition the range of this

	/** Type of vertex animation.
		Vertex animation comes in 2 types, morph and pose. The reason
		for the 2 types is that we have 2 different potential goals - to encapsulate
		a complete, flowing morph animation with multiple keyframes (a typical animation,
		but implemented by having snapshots of the vertex data at each keyframe), 
		or to represent a single pose change, for example a facial expression. 
		Whilst both could in fact be implemented using the same system, we choose
		to separate them since the requirements and limitations of each are quite
		different.
	@par
		Morph animation is a simple approach where we have a whole series of 
		snapshots of vertex data which must be interpolated, e.g. a running 
		animation implemented as morph targets. Because this is based on simple
		snapshots, it's quite fast to use when animating an entire mesh because 
		it's a simple linear change between keyframes. However, this simplistic 
		approach does not support blending between multiple morph animations. 
		If you need animation blending, you are advised to use skeletal animation
		for full-mesh animation, and pose animation for animation of subsets of 
		meshes or where skeletal animation doesn't fit - for example facial animation.
		For animating in a vertex shader, morph animation is quite simple and 
		just requires the 2 vertex buffers (one the original position buffer) 
		of absolute position data, and an interpolation factor. Each track in 
		a morph animation refrences a unique set of vertex data.
	@par
		Pose animation is more complex. Like morph animation each track references
		a single unique set of vertex data, but unlike morph animation, each 
		keyframe references 1 or more 'poses', each with an influence level. 
		A pose is a series of offsets to the base vertex data, and may be sparse - ie it
		may not reference every vertex. Because they're offsets, they can be 
		blended - both within a track and between animations. This set of features
		is very well suited to facial animation.
	@par
		For example, let's say you modelled a face (one set of vertex data), and 
		defined a set of poses which represented the various phonetic positions 
		of the face. You could then define an animation called 'SayHello', containing
		a single track which referenced the face vertex data, and which included 
		a series of keyframes, each of which referenced one or more of the facial 
		positions at different influence levels - the combination of which over
		time made the face form the shapes required to say the word 'hello'. Since
		the poses are only stored once, but can be referenced may times in 
		many animations, this is a very powerful way to build up a speech system.
	@par
		The downside of pose animation is that it can be more difficult to set up.
		Also, since it uses more buffers (one for the base data, and one for each
		active pose), if you're animating in hardware using vertex shaders you need
		to keep an eye on how many poses you're blending at once. You define a
		maximum supported number in your vertex program definition, see the 
		includes_pose_animation material script entry. 
	@par
		So, by partitioning the vertex animation approaches into 2, we keep the
		simple morph technique easy to use, whilst still allowing all 
		the powerful techniques to be used. Note that morph animation cannot
		be blended with other types of vertex animation (pose animation or other
		morph animation); pose animation can be blended with other pose animation
		though, and both types can be combined with skeletal animation. Also note
		that all morph animation can be expressed as pose animation, but not vice
		versa.
