Imagine walking into office and suddenly your superior tells you to write a new program to animate the tentacles

[josephdery]

It wasn't animated, it was animated. Got it.

[plant]

So you're telling mw they didn't animate it...

They _computer animated_ it?

[nolram]

You‘re saying they did it from scratch? Didn‘t they use Houdini?

[lerbronk]

ah yes the 2 sides of the tedious same coin. making program to do it or do it bit by bit

[katti_]

"wasnt animated..."
10 seconds later: "...used computer simulations to to crunch the numbers and ANIMATE..."
