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.

Parameters

Inputs

• 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.

Parameters

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