	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Base resource for [AnimationTree] nodes. In general it's not used directly but you can create custom ones with custom blending formulas.
	Inherit this when creating nodes mainly for use in [AnimationNodeBlendTree], otherwise [AnimationRootNode] should be used instead.

				Called when a custom node is processed. The argument "time" is relative, unless "seek" is true (in which case it is absolute).
			Here, call the [method blend_input], [method blend_node] or [method blend_animation] functions.
			You can also use [method get_parameter] and [method set_parameter] to modify local memory.
			This function returns the time left for the current animation to finish (if unsure, just pass  the value from the main blend being called).
