/*! @file SOP_BouncyAgent.C

  @brief Demonstrates example for creating a procedural agent primitive.

  The node creates an agent primitive for every point from its input geometry
  that uses the same shared agent definition. The agent definition itself is a
  unit polygonal sphere that has skin weights bound to two joints (a parent and
  a child) with animation that bounces it in TY.
