Development Pipeline: Eggs Over Easy (Patreon)

We have eggs! But that's not enough, they need to hatch. To make the eggs hatch we had to break the egg mesh into pieces so that they can be animated to break apart when a player hatches out of their egg. What you see here are the pieces of the egg shell that will be animated to break apart. We're able to reuse the egg rig for each egg meaning the egg only needs to be rigged and animated once, saving us development time and allowing us to make as many eggs as we want, scaling them to each species proper size.
