Thomas Larsson for VFX
Technical Level Designer: Martijn Dijksen
Animation using graph logic and basic transforms and some world inputs (like wind) or in the drill case driven by Level script.
An amazing gif showcasing the drill animation and vfx thanks to Rene Mitchell-Lambert
Animation is done using a mix of depth buffers, vertex shader and vertex positions baked on vertex color.
If needed vertex color can be deleted for planks that we do not want to move, however it wasn't the case here.
