Re: BevelFilter

[Alex Harui]

This is not my area of expertise at all, but have you seen this?  
http://www.rw-designer.com/bevel-effect-explained

IIRC, there are vector effects, and pixel effects.  Vector effects basically 
alter the vectors that compose the graphic.  Pixel effects post-process the 
drawn pixels.

I think a basic Bevel effect may be a vector effect.  The Flash one might 
require pixel effects as well to implement blur.  The article I linked to 
implies that the basic bevel effect is a 3D modeling problem.  Do you have to 
use SVG or can you use WebGL or some 3D library?

Also consider whether you have to bevel "anything" or something simple.  To 
bevel a rectangular border can be relatively simple, IIRC.

HTH,

    Hi Olaf,
    
    
    
    Well, I was hoping to write a Royale bead rather than use a third party 
library. I’m more interested in the alogorithm used for flash and Photoshop, 
assuming that’s easily translatable to SVG [1] filters.

    Hi Yishay,
    maybe it's worth to give GreenSock/GSAP a try [1][2]?
    They provided a BevelFilterPlugin for AS3, maybe they ported it to SVG?
    I am not sure about the license...
