I guarantee this plugin will go down as a new classic, its that good.

A new high quality bevel plugin that uses a unique algorithm that by its nature dictates
the bevel to be sharp in appearance. I have made many bevel plugins before this one
(bevel, custom-bevel, glossy-balloon ect... but all of them rely on the same theory. A blur
followed by an emboss. This is the first bevel plugin of mine to deviate from that rule.
Distance transform, color to alpha and emboss is the core principle behind sharp bevel.


Of course I should clarify, There is a lot more going on inside this bevel. It is definitely applying over 50 Gimp filters at once to make this effect. But its core idea is based around those three filters (distance transform, color to alpha and emboss). You're gonna love this filter guys and gals I guarantee it.

This plugin has two dependencies that smooth the edges and remove edge artifact. Said dependencies are plugins of their own. If you
already have them overwrite them with the latest version to make sure things work proper. Especially due to the name space transition.
The plugin is technically called lb:sharp-bevel because Gimp's team does not want people using the namespace gegl: but practically we will call it GEGL Sharp Bevel.

During development it used Custom Bevel as a template and uses a very small amount of Custom Bevel's code so technically it is a fork of Custom Bevel but so heavily modified. To learn more about Custom Bevel go here.

This was suppose to be a new classic, as it is a unique text styling plugin that does dozens of things. I guess it sunk.

Anyhow, Sharp Bevel updated and contains a new slider called "flat surface control" that will slide up makes Sharp Bevel flatter.
