Hi! I am having trouble applying this shader on materials in my experiments... I reproduced the error in a minimal setting here: https://replit.com/join/ebzjqugc-vgrafe
Am I missing something?

I see you using ThreeJS. Unfortunately this is just atmosphere part of the shader you still need to add main function and output color like here https://github.com/Fewes/MinimalAtmosphere/blob/master/Assets/Atmosphere/Shaders/Skybox.shader
