===DESCRIPTION===

Spooky scary giant insects! That's this track in a nutshell. We have a spider and a lot of wasps lurking around here, so you need to be careful.
The original track didn't have any animations for the insects, so I decided to give them a little bit of life.
Some of them attack too, so if you want to disable that, replace the custom_animations file with the one in the "bonus" folder.
Re-texturing this track was giving me a panic attack, there's so many different little details that are not fast at all to do.
Thankfully I met a wonderful person on the POD discord who lend me a BL4 (POD track file) plugin for blender that they made, now I'll never have to re-texture a track again!!!
Hopefully I'll be able to convert tracks a lot faster now.
