Material textures are from GreyscaleGorilla, although I used COPs triplanar projection to composite them together. COPs used for reverse animation effects, except for the frame blending by depth (which isn't currently possible in COPs so I did it with the OpenImageIO TOP node.)

This was challenging !
A simple custom infection solver was cached over each piece,
then retimed to try and choreograph it all together.
Geo was handled with animated booleans using remesh and VDB's
which was fiddley - would have been much easier in comp...
but maybe not as much exercise on the old noodle.
I initially had some more turbulence in the pop wind - but I thought try and stay
true to the great original.

I had the text and pistol's antenna/sight in there as well - but out of time for now.
