Hi,
is where a possibility to do Screen Space Bevel in Babylon.js? If it is not, it would be really helpfull if you could implement that feature.

ive never even heard of screenspace bevel , had to google it now since I cant think how it is possible anyway. Now I see it is obviously just doing some blur on sharp edges , which I guess some consider a bevel effect because it looks softer like a actual bevel.
what would really be cool is if some computer scientist took it upon themselves to add a 3rd method of rendering geometry at the hardware level. currently its , flat faces ( split normals , default ) or shared faces ( combined normal , phong shading )
so phong got rid of seeing face edges , aka smoothing but has the shading artifacts when the angle becomes too great , distance to next edge is large.
Beveling simply makes that not be an issue due to reduced angles and tighter edges.
So somehow they need to invent a new phong shading system that simply doesnt have the issues mentioned , and everything will look like it has a small tight bevel by default , at the hardware level
