I wouldn't have thought it was done with an atlas like that!

Thanks for sharing the backstage it's super inspiring!

That's superb😀! Are these just affine transformations of 'planes'?
I feel like there's a kind of 'displacement map' effect, but maybe it's just an illusion from my eye being too used to 3D engines.

If you're referring to the pink hair tail, it's a simple trick using 'look_at(my_last_position)' in cascade with an offset pivot. I think I'll make a post about it—it's super simple and provides instant feedback.
