// Linear blend between two AnimNodes.
// the amount of blending is determined by the alpha parameter.
// If the number of children is 2, then the alpha parameters should be between
// 0 and 1.  The first animation will have a (1 - alpha) factor, and the second
// will have factor of alpha.
// This node supports more then 2 children.  In this case the alpha should be
// between 0 and n - 1.  This alpha can be used to linearly interpolate between
// the closest two children poses.  This can be used to sweep through a series
// of animation poses.
