Creates/loads an animated mesh from the file. Parameters RFile File handler to load the file from. Returns The created mesh. Returns nil if loading failed. If you no longer need the mesh, you should call TAnimatedMesh.Drop(). See TReferenceCounted.Drop() for more information.

Returns true if the file might be loaded by this class. This decision should be based on the file extension (e.g. ".cob") only. Parameters FileName Name of the file to test. Returns True if the file might be loaded by this class.
