Pretty much title, but I want to inflate a palm tree like in the valve f stop intro (Valve Archive - F-STOP: Relaxation Island Intro - YouTube)

Hey @joeythefake!

I think the best way to accomplish what you are looking for is with animation using the sequencer. Here is a great non-Epic affiliated video that goes over some of the basics you will need to get the effect you are looking for:

Animating in Sequencer: Creating ‘Ninety Days’ in Unreal Engine 5

I hope the above solution helps get you where you want to go!
