			int Transformation type (1= Static Node , 2=Animated Node)
			int TRAN section


	This section contains animation map data. It contains the same amount of entries as the scenegraph and each entry consists of two integers. The first one is the transformation type, 1 for static nodes(-1 in SGAL section), 2 for animated nodes, while the last one points to the transformation matrix from the TRAN section to use.
