@LukeAlmighty ueh it's cool... kinda... they just fed the video to a geometry nodes system or something like that haha

@hideki @LukeAlmighty I think you could even just do a deform video texture with an array and shrnikwrap

@applejack @LukeAlmighty true you can also displace a plane with the video and then instance the little pins to the plane.

@applejack @LukeAlmighty There you go, you just need to feed the video to the displace modifier and you're good.
