Overview

Dragon Skin combines three directional waves across five warped, rotated layers. Sharpened intersections create an animated network of scale-like ridges.

The accumulated height drives the dark red color transition, orange glow, and finite-difference normals used for directional highlights.

Basic usage

The shader fills its parent. Your layout decides whether that parent is a card, hero, or viewport.

Raise Ridge sharpness for thinner ridges, or lower it for broader scales.
Set Speed to zero for a static frame. Reduced-motion mode pauses the renderer automatically.
