# Holo Foil: a build prompt for your AI coding agent. A holographic foil card in WebGL2 with thin-film iridescence, a diffraction rainbow, glints and embossed type. > Source: > Published: 2026-09-28 20:35:16+00:00 You are a senior graphics and front-end engineer. Build the component described below from scratch, in TypeScript, to the standard of a premium product launch film: every frame should look intentional, crisp and finished. Work in small steps, run it in a browser after each step, and compare what you see with the description before moving on. A holographic foil card under studio light: guilloche engraving, embossed title and ink-printed small type, thin-film iridescence, a diffraction-grating rainbow and twinkling glints, tilting toward the pointer on a spring. - Renders with WebGL2. - Time is deterministic: the same time gives the same frame, so it can be scrubbed and exported frame by frame. - It loops seamlessly: a `loop` param in seconds, and the frame at t equals the frame at t + loop (check it numerically). - It looks alive with no pointer and no input (an idle choreography), because screenshots, videos and most visitors never touch it. - Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` (keep the state change, drop the motion) and pause when off screen. Names from "the core" (the post chain, spring helpers) belong to the original library; write your own equivalents. A limited-edition holographic foil card photographed under studio light. A metal card floats over a studio backdrop. Its foil carries a guilloche seal (or concentric rings, fine waves, a hobnail diamond grid or a brushed hairline finish), an embossed title in a toned foil or laser etching, and a subtitle and serial printed in opaque ink, the way real foil cards and packaging print small type. Thin-film iridescence tints the base metal, and a diffraction-grating rainbow sweeps across the card as it tilts. Glitter glints twinkle, the polished rim catches the lights and the card casts a soft contact shadow. The card turns toward the pointer on a spring. With no pointer it performs a slow idle tilt, so the sheen never stops moving. A full-bleed layout fills the container with foil, as a background for headlines. ``` js import { HoloFoil } from './holo-foil'; HoloFoil.mount(el, { title: 'AURUM', baseColor: '#e4b565', gratingField: 'linear' }); ``` The whole scene is one native-resolution HDR pass into the core `PostChain`, which adds bloom, film glow, tone mapping, grain and dither. Almost everything on a card has edges (lines, letters, ink, the rim, glints), so none of it can drop to a lower resolution. Instead, the expensive static parts are baked once at setup: | Bake | Size | What it holds | |---|---|---| | Spectral LUT | 256 x 16 RGBA16F | wavelength (300 to 900 nm) x spectral blur (0 to 150 nm) to linear RGB | | Thin-film LUT | 512 x 1 RGBA16F | optical path difference (0 to 3000 nm) to the interference term in RGB | | Film noise | 512 x 512 RGBA16F, tileable | film thickness, grating pitch, brushing wander | | Title SDF, subtitle SDF | 2048 wide R16F each (1024 on `low` ) | signed distance in texels; the title is embossed, the subtitle is printed | Each pixel's ray hits the rotated card plane. That gives exact perspective and card-space coordinates whose screen derivatives drive all the anti-aliasing: silhouette coverage, the box-filtered engraving, ink and letter coverage, and the glint footprint. - **Thin-film interference** (`thin-film-interference` ). The base metal carries a lacquer film whose thickness varies with a baked noise field and the engraving. The two-beam interference term`cos(2 PI OPD / lambda)` is integrated against the CIE observer once per optical path difference, following the spectral-integration idea of Belcour and Barla, and looked up per pixel with`OPD = 2 n t cos(theta_t)` . A palette can replace the physical colours (`paletteMix` ). - **Diffraction grating** (`diffraction-grating` ). The rainbow comes from the grating equation`d (sin theta_m - sin theta_i) = m lambda` , evaluated per pixel in vector form. The tangential part of`V + L` along the grating vector gives the wavelength of orders 1 and 2, and its part along the grooves must vanish. The grating field sets the character: - `seal` : radial around the guilloche seal, a rainbow beam that swings with the tilt. - `linear` : a straight band that sweeps across the card, the classic foil-stamp look. - `fan` : a slowly turning band that keeps the centre calm. - `pattern` : follows the engraving (seal, disc spokes, fan, prism mosaic). `bandWidth` scales the along-groove tolerance, light size included, from a scratch-thin line to a broad wash. The rainbow's strength scales with the metal's reflectance, so a black card diffracts less. - **Analytic colour matching functions** (`cie-cmf-fit` ). Both LUTs use the Wyman, Sloan and Shirley multi-lobe Gaussian fit of the CIE 1931 observer. The spectral LUT pre-convolves it with the spectral blur, and colours outside sRGB are lifted toward white instead of clipped, so each band keeps its hue. - **Procedural glints** (`procedural-glints` ). One flake per hashed cell (integer PCG hash, no time input) has its own micro-normal and grating angle. It lights up only when a light's half-vector lands within about two degrees of that normal, so glints twinkle with the angle, never with time. Flakes are drawn as footprint-aware sub-pixel Gaussians, and a layer fades out once its cells shrink below about 2.5 px. - **Box-filtered engraving** (`box-filtered-engraving` ). Every line field is a periodic groove profile with closed-form antiderivatives, so its mean slope, mean squared slope and coverage over the pixel footprint are exact. Frequency clamping is split by linearity. The slope feeds the non-linear specular and rainbow, so it fades near the pixel grid. The coverage only blends materials, so its profile widens toward a near-sinusoid. The result has no moire at any tilt. The brushed hairline is a band-limited sum of sines across the brushing whose terms fade before they can alias. - **Toksvig and anisotropic specular anti-aliasing** (`toksvig-specular-aa` ). The slope lost inside a pixel is accumulated as a 2D covariance. Normally it widens the lobe (Toksvig), which turns distant engraving into satin instead of sparkle. On the brushed hairline, the excess across the brushing stretches the highlight with a three-tap lookup, the streak of machined metal. - **Embossed title from an exact distance transform** (`sdf-text-emboss` ). The title is drawn as opaque white on opaque black. The opaque ground matters: canvas pixels are premultiplied, and only an opaque ground keeps the antialiased coverage intact. The exact Felzenszwalb-Huttenlocher EDT turns it into a signed distance, and a box-filtered bevel over that distance gives three title styles: - raised foil in a toned (smoked) foil; - laser etching, matte, light on dark metals and dark on bright ones; - hologram letters that also diffract in their own direction. A polished clean zone around the letters, like a foil-stamping knockout, and optional smooth text windows keep them readable on busy patterns. - **Printed ink** (part of`sdf-text-emboss` ). The subtitle and serial are an opaque print from their own distance field, with analytic coverage: - matte ink lit by the rig's diffuse irradiance on the card face, computed per frame; - a hairline highlight on the edges facing the key light; - a hairline shadow on the foil beyond the opposite edges. It reads at every pose, which foil-on-foil small type never does. - **Analytic SDF coverage** (`sdf-coverage-aa` ). The rounded-rectangle silhouette, the side wall, the letters, the ink and the windows are anti-aliased from their distance fields divided by the screen-space gradient. - **Guilloche** (`guilloche` ). The seal is two families of sine-modulated rings,`F = K (r +- A(r) sin(n theta + beta r))` , crossing like a rose-engine lattice, with a clean boss and a double keyline. The keyline is an exactly windowed groove family. Around it runs a field of long, gentle waves. - **Schlick Fresnel** (`schlick-fresnel` ). The film-tinted reflectance rises toward white at grazing angles, which makes the rolled rim and the far edge of a tilted card flare. - **Closed-form springs** (`analytic-spring` ). Pointer tilt, the pointer-to-idle hand-off and the hover lift use the core`springStepInto` , with no allocation per frame. The pointer spring stays parked on the idle pose while disengaged, and`springiness` sets the damping ratio. - **Film finish** (`physically-based-bloom` ,`filmGlow` ,`agx-tonemap` ,`film-grain` ,`ign-dither` ). The core PostChain adds a tight bloom on highlights and glints with a hint of warm film glow, then tone mapping (AgX, or Neutral for brand-exact gold and pearl), grain and dither. - Also used: `oklab-mixing` ,`pcg-hash` ,`deterministic-time` (a frame is a function of params and time;`loop` closes exactly),`adaptive-resolution` ,`visibility-gating` ,`reduced-motion` . The studio rig itself matters for legibility. A wide white bounce below the lens fills the lower half of the card, as on a real product set, and the top scrim never falls to black. Foil behind printed type therefore never reflects pure black. Each preset has its own rainbow character. - **Silver Holo** (default): silver foil, guilloche seal, radial seal beam (the signature), smoked raised title, near-black ink. - **Gold Reserve** : gold metal, guilloche as engraving only, a linear diagonal band (25 degrees) sweeping across like a foil stamp, laser-etched Didone title, dark ink, Neutral tone mapping. - **Rose Prism** : rose metal, hobnail pyramids diffracting as a prism mosaic, smooth text windows behind the smoked title and the ink edition line. - **Obsidian** : black brushed hairline metal, one thin desaturated spectral band, light laser marks and warm-white ink. Restrained. - **Pearl Light** : pearl white on a light backdrop, soft pastel iridescence on a fan field, etched title, dark ink, visible cast shadow. - **Full-bleed Foil** : fine waves filling the container with a fan band that moves across a calm centre, for headlines on top. For each preset, 25 poses (t = 0 to 12 s in 0.5 s steps) are rendered twice: once with the `textmask` debug view (title interior, a 3 to 11 px ring of foil around it, subtitle interior and its ring) and once as the beauty frame. The table shows the WCAG contrast ratio between the mean luminance of each text interior and its surrounding foil: the minimum over all poses, with the median in brackets. | Preset | Title 1440x900 | Ink 1440x900 | Title 390x844 DPR 3 | Ink 390x844 DPR 3 | Ink 390x844 DPR 1 | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Silver Holo | 3.64 (4.57) | 3.53 (4.49) | 3.58 (4.56) | 3.43 (4.28) | 2.79 (3.40) | | Gold Reserve | 3.32 (4.87) | 3.67 (4.28) | 3.47 (5.05) | 3.88 (4.47) | 3.71 (4.13) | | Rose Prism | 3.95 (4.74) | 3.16 (4.44) | 3.97 (4.69) | 3.00 (4.36) | 2.47 (3.48) | | Obsidian | 3.82 (5.83) | 5.12 (6.92) | 3.84 (5.93) | 5.25 (7.05) | 5.25 (7.14) | | Pearl Light | 6.83 (7.78) | 7.04 (8.07) | 6.58 (7.57) | 7.13 (8.27) | 5.96 (6.83) | Measured on an Apple M4 Pro (ANGLE Metal, Chrome headless), taking the best of three runs: - 60 fps (display cap) at 1440x900 at DPR 1 and at DPR 2, for the card and the full-bleed layout. - GPU frame cost, measured as render plus a full pipeline sync, best of 3 x 40 frames: about 2 ms at 1440x900 DPR 1, and at DPR 2 (2880x1800) 3.8 ms (Silver), 3.8 ms (Rose), 4.4 ms (Obsidian, with anisotropic highlights) and 5.6 ms (full-bleed). - `quality: 'low'` halves the text fields, uses a single glint layer, drops the side wall and the second grating orientation in the grooves. - On a DPR 1 phone-size frame, the serial line is width-limited (28 characters on a 335 px card, cap height about 7 px). The ink then measures 2.5 to 2.8:1 at its worst pose on Silver and Rose; it holds 3:1 or better at DPR 3. - Printed type needs bright foil behind it, so the studio fills the card with a white bounce, and Silver and Gold now read lighter and more pastel than a black-studio shot would. - Obsidian's spectral band is a soft stripe about a tenth of the card wide, not a razor line. With a flat card and a moderate lens, perspective alone cannot make it thinner. - The rosette softens to a woven texture at DPR 1; it is crisp from DPR 2. - Lettering uses system font stacks (Copperplate, Bodoni 72 or Didot, Avenir Next), and other systems fall back to Georgia or Arial. Web fonts are picked up once `document.fonts` is ready. - Changing `title` ,`subtitle` ,`typeface` or`aspect` rebuilds both text fields on the main thread: about 60 to 100 ms, once per change. - Resizing reshuffles the glints, whose grid follows the card's pixel size. - Reflections come from a fixed procedural studio rig (five softboxes and two hard lights, rotatable with `lightAngle` ), not an HDR environment map. - WebGL2 only. There is no WebGPU path, and no CSS fallback beyond a static gradient card. - **Thin-film interference.** Iridescence from light reflecting off both sides of a film a few hundred nanometres thick; hue shifts with viewing angle like soap bubbles and holographic foil.

Deliver one module with the API above, a demo page that shows the defaults full screen, and a short README listing each technique with its source.
