In my previous tutorial, I showed how to create a holographic foil TCG card using Adobe After Effects. But since not everyone has access to Adobe software, I wanted to explore how we can achieve a similar effect entirely inside Blender 3D.

In this video, I'll walk you through building a procedural holographic foil shader that reacts to card rotation, using shader nodes. The setup isn't perfect, but it is a foundation that you can experiment and improve on it to create your own unique foil effects.

In this tutorial, you'll learn:
- Set up your 3D card
- Holographic gradient
- Procedural foil patterns (Noise & Voronoi)
- Pixelated / boxy foil effects
