    Really great tutorial on the use of trigonometry to achieve procedural animation effects! one thing I will say is that it would've been nice if you had at least glossed over how you sort of overlay the angles on top of each other to achieve that double-grate effect. although i would understand if it was deliberately done for redundancy.
