About
A 0.4 m lathed base carries a 1.9 m tapered post, a cardinal cross of four 0.5 m arms with amber pointer plates at 1.44 m, and a spindle to the vane at 2 m. The vane is a 0.9 m shaft with a two plate arrow head and an amber tail fin. Overall size 1.23 x 2.3 x 1.22 m in metres, +Y up, +Z forward, resting on y=0. Node vane turns on the spindle axis at y=2.0. Clips: idle swings the vane 62 degrees each way and back over 5 s, as if hunting in a gust. Node TRS animation on named nodes only; no skinned rig, skeleton, collision or navigation data.
