moving prop_static?

[Unregistered HyperCam 2]

The wiki says prop_statics cannot move or animate yet we all know the prop "props_island\island_tree01.mdl" from mercenary park that has a wind-like animation.
How did valve do that? What's the limitations? I tried decompiling the model but I couldn't find anything useful...
it's in the material island_tree_trunk01.vmt, apparently they added the $treesway feature in jungle inferno..

The animation is a vertex shader, not a typical bone based mdl animation. I think the shader is applied through the material.

The material shader is called $treesway - here's the valve developer wiki article on it

Thanks, I did not see your comments in time for some reason
