Glossy Bevelled Text

Try this snippet I've attached. (Make sure you replace the frame component with your selection.)

Biomechanic,

Probably the simplest way to add color is to just add a Color controller into the Surface Color input. However, you'ld probably also want to use the Selection controller to "Set Alpha" so the non-selected parts become transparent.

I'll attach a filter I made for experimenting... (Ignore all the extra experimental stuff I was messing with and maybe just examine the Color controller, Selection component, Set Alpha component, and Surface color input.)

Biomechanic,

That's cool if you found my post/filter helpful.
(By the way, I'm often impressed with the various ways one can approach various "filter creation" ideas -- where I find myself continuously finding more stuff to build off of... E.g. uberzev previously posted (quite a while ago) a "basic shading" snippet in an earlier thread somewhere in the forums, and I found his recent "beveled" snippet, here, to be an interesting compliment that seemed a bit related...)


Anyway, also thanks for the positive "Alien Ribs" feedback -- it's always nice to read comments like that.
