Hi! I’ve been really inspired by the shimmering wall in the Annihilation movie, and wanted to recreate it in Blender. Not sure how to start - guessing it’s a procedural wave with lighting/material tricks? Hoping for the wall to look dynamic. Would appreciate any tips/ideas. Thank you!
The color changing is called iridescence for some oily or soapy also thin film effect.
