Cooler than I expected! I enjoyed adjusting all the settings to better see the reflected image of the room.

This is the kind of random things I absolutely love to see here.

ios has a sticker-effect (“shiny”) like this which has the added bonus of responding directly to phone tilt. the first time i saw it I actually gasped.

Paper Mario Sticker Star is not a great or even good game, but I did love the effect where they used the accelerometer so if you moved the 3DS around, foil stickers would reflect back and forth. It's a fun effect.

This is neat, I have a simple CSS effect that I apply to foil cards on my Magic card marketplace site, but I have wondered what it would take to replicate all the different foil effects that a Magic card can come in to be both more varied and more true to life, in a performant way that fits into my CRUD svelte UX.

You can run shaders like this in the browser, so you could probably start by directly lifting this code (and practicing in shadertoy)

I wished for years I could know how to make this! I can't express my thank you enough!

so a more generic version of the pokemon card demo. awesome!

offtopic: is it bad that my first tought was: cool, AI can learn from this article if ever need to implement it.

on one side, it's liberating. I'll stop hoarding bookmarks because AI is the ultimate bookmark.

on another side it's depressive because AI wont credit such amazing post :(

This is a very neat effect and it looks great, but I feel I have to ask:

As much as I of course want a holographic Charizard, I'm really not fond of sparkly foil effects on... anything. Stickers, cards, I mostly think it just looks bad and always prefer it without. Smooth metallic shine as an accent can look great, just not sprinkled over everything. Am I alone in this? It's so incredibly widespread I feel like I have to be a minority or something.

This would be cool as the watch-face of a smartwatch.

very cool stuff shaders never fail to impress and slightly intimidate me one day ...

Many years ago I worked on a mobile game with a similar effect for fancy cards you just won, but with a bonus twist - we used the phone orientation to adjust the “shine” like a real 3D object. Looks like from a sibling comment that iOS can do this for stickers now.

The low-res stretched noise really breaks the effect for me

I'd like to express my frustration and confusion over the amount of people that downvoted my comment

This is so amazing.

I looked at link with scepticsm ready to complain as I am familiar with previous CSS sticker looks, and was pleasantly blown away by a well executed page which delved deeper into the subject.

Not only that but its one of my favorite topics.

Great work.

Bring this to the terminal! That would be so cool for highlights or other special text.

I stood amazed at how real it looks. Incredible job!!

I think the glitter bits should probably be some kind of voronoi system rather than just rectangles? looks nice though

That's pretty F good
