# Iridescent Braided Shader

> full-screen React shader component that renders a dynamic, braided iridescent background using Three.js and a custom GLSL fragment shader. It produces flowing, half‑circle braided waves with thin‑film style iridescence, subtle rim lighting, ambient occlusion, and vignette for a polished UI backdrop.
