[UE4][Custom Animation Graph Node]Evaluate Pose by Curve

目的：根据曲线值获得当前动作帧。用于实现各种通过曲线同步的功能。

方法：继承FAnimNode_Base创建自定义动画节点。重写Evaluate部分。创建相应的AnimGraphNode。可参考前一篇http://blog.csdn.net/u010831746/article/details/50733287

Evaluate : 1. 根据曲线Value(Y轴)值获得Time(X轴)值。

曲线KeyArray所在位置。AnimSequenceBase : RawCurveData.

类型AnimCurveTypes.h:FRawCurveTracks

曲线记录是TArray<FRichCurveKey>。每个key中存有Time和Value。根据输入的CurveValue，遍历Array查找Value最接近的Key，返回Time。

2.根据Time值获得动画POS

AnimSequence->GetAnimationPose（…, Time, …）输出Pose。
