Holographic foil: crinkled rainbow pleats filling the frame
Holographic foil fills the frame with the Pleats sculpture in the Foil material, folded into diagonal accordion pleats and crinkled into small soft facets. Color dispersion 100 lays a full thin-film rainbow over each facet, so the color runs from pink through mint to violet as the pleats turn, while the Skylight rig keeps the light soft and even. Fine ripples 85 makes the facets small and busy, like real cellophane pressed flat.

Larger, calmer facets
Fine ripples sets the size of the crinkle. At 85 the facets are small; drop it to 30 and the foil breaks into broad plates, each reflecting a single band of the rainbow.
From rainbow to silver
Color dispersion 100 gives the strongest holographic film. Bring it down to 30 and the foil turns mostly silver, with only a pastel sheen left on the steepest pleats.
FAQ
How does Holographic foil get its rainbow colors?
From a thin-film layer computed per facet, the same optics as a soap bubble. The film's thickness changes from facet to facet and with the viewing angle, so each one reflects a different hue of the white skylight.
How it works
Choose a shoot
Start from one of 16 looks such as Chrome ribbon, Holographic foil or Burgundy lacquer, or pick one of 8 sculptures and one of 7 materials.
Light it
Choose a lighting rig and a composition (full bleed, object or horizon), then set polish, light direction, reflection contrast, color dispersion, fine ripples and sculptural depth.
Color and use it
Set the background, metal, second light and light colors, press Play for a seamless loop of about 18 seconds, then sign in with a free UX Pilot account to use it on the canvas or export it.
