Bevel

In: Filters/Effects

Intermediate

Description

Peforms an edge-beveling effect on an input grayscale Heightmap. Returns both beveled Heightmap and Normalmap based on that Heightmap.

This is a useful node for applying exact curve profiles on an ideally binary (high contract black/white), basic Heightmap.

input: Grayscale Input
Heightmap to convert.
Custom Curve: Grayscale Input
Gradient that determines the exact curve/slope. Ideally a Gradient Linear node, on which you can perform any kind of adjustment such as Levels or Curves. Only active when "Use Custom Curve" is True.

Distance: -1.0 - 1.0
How far the bevel effect should reach.
Corner Type: Round, Angular
Whether the beveling profile should be rounded or straight.
Smoothing: 0.0 - 5.0
How much additional smoothing (blurring) to perform after the bevel.
Use Non-Uniform Blur: False/True
Whether smoothing should be done non-uniformly.
Use Custom Curve: False/True
Toggles use of your own custom height curve. See above for more info.
Normal Intensity: 0.0 - 50.0
Intensity of the generated Normalmap.
Normal Format: DirectX, OpenGL
Switch between different Normalmap formats (inverts the Green channel).
