It works pretty much because deformation decals are rendered on a second landscape 1000 meters bellow
That mesh is just black and decals are white “blobs”.
TrackerPosition is a location of SceneCapture which has the same XY coordinates as tank but hovering over the 2nd landscape underground. It moves with the tank. There is a bit of shimmering but I can solve it by moving SceneCapture to discrete positions - rounding position to the closest center of the texel of projected texture.

That was a pretty neat solution to it. And if you can link the landscapes to both move when you change one, then it would be awesome. Like a landscape instance. And that works well with making it lag less. I need to try that sometime. Really like seeing that people can improve on this. But if someone finds out how to propperly paint then that would be the best Thanks for sharing.
