/**
 * This is a specialization on VertexTransform that returns the transform
 * necessary to move vertices as if they were assigned to the indicated joint.
 * The geometry itself should be parented to the scene graph at the level of
 * the character's root joint; that is, it should not be parented under a node
 * directly animated by any joints.
 *
 * Multiple combinations of these with different weights are used to implement
 * soft-skinned vertices for an animated character.
