			Animation must be a simple rotation with a single bone positioned at the origin. In order to be adaptable to a range of junction angles, a rotation of 5° should be employed, clockwise for the right blade, anti-clockwise for the left. Other arrangements are not currently supported. A length of 150 frames is recommended. The animation will be partially played through in game according to the required angle.

			The term <b>blade</b> is specifically required in the mesh-table, the mesh and animation files can be named as desired.

	Stretcher: Also known as a ‘tie bar’. Animation is required to be a simple translation of 0.5 metres along the positive X axis with a single bone positioned at the origin. Other arrangements are not currently supported. A length of 150 frames is recommended to match that of the blade animation. The animation will be partially played through in game according to the required distance.		Stretcher: Also known as a ‘tie bar’.
