This was always the intended evolution getting the marble shader experiment working. I wanted to attempt to recreate, with some creative liberty, the materia from the Final Fantasy VII (7) Remake on PlayStation 4/5.

The inspiration came from some preview material from the game. In the end, the experiment involved taking the marble shader and making some modifications. As well as that an image was added to get the star type effect necessary for the materia look.

I created variations of colour and pattern for each of the types in the game: Command, Complete, Magic, Summon, and Support.
