Every parameter
at your fingertips

Shape Source &
Threshold

Choose between Luma or Alpha channel for edge detection. Fine-tune the threshold to capture exactly the boundaries you need.

  • Luma: Detects edges based on brightness — ideal for video footage.
  • Alpha: Uses transparency for clean shape isolation — perfect for text, vectors, and logos.
  • Height Map: Uses luminance directly as height data — ideal for displacement maps and grayscale depth images.

Bevel Size &
Smoothness

Control the width of your bevel effect and apply Gaussian smoothing for silky-smooth gradients. Separable blur ensures optimal performance.

Bevel Height &
Direction

Adjust the perceived depth of your bevel from -100 to +100. Negative values create inset effects, positive values produce raised surfaces.

Custom Bevel
Curve

Design your own bevel profile with the built-in bezier curve editor. Up to 16 control points for precise shape definition.
