I did skim through that one. What I really wanted was what Anonymous asked for in the comments section, but maybe it’s worth trying to implement something according to the explanation that’s there and test to see how different it is to the flash implementation.
To answer your other questions, we want to solve the generic problem (we’re writing an editor, so we can’t assume users will only use a certain shape) for SVG. Thanks. ________________________________ From: Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com.INVALID> Sent: Wednesday, January 9, 2019 10:24:05 AM To: dev@royale.apache.org Subject: Re: BevelFilter 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.

I’m more interested in the alogorithm used for flash and Photoshop, assuming that’s easily translatable to SVG [1] filters.

They provided a BevelFilterPlugin for AS3, maybe they ported it to SVG? I am not sure about the license...
