Holographic trading card foil

Stylized holographic foil for cards and stickers: rainbow bands that slide with the viewing angle, a grid of diffraction tiles each with its own grating direction, and sparkle points, over a printed base colour.

How it works

Shader type
spatial
Parameters
print_color (vec4 = 0.12, 0.14, 0.3, 1), foil_strength (float = 0.8), band_frequency (float = 4), view_shift (float = 3), tile_count (float = 14), tile_contrast (float = 0.5), sparkle_density (float = 0.15), saturation (float = 0.85)
Use it on
A mesh with UVs and tangents (a thin box or quad as a card).
Result
A dark card covered in rainbow foil that shifts and glitters as it tilts.

Limits to consider

Artistic, not a diffraction calculation. Colours depend on the view angle only, not on light positions. Tiles and sparkles are aligned to UVs and alias when the card is small on screen.
