Explanation about Bevel Node

posted to: The 3 Ways to Bevel

I can't understand why to use bevel node on smallest bevels when i can use modifier. Maybe you can't slight bevel with the modifier? Expect from that you can connect two different meshes and bevel both, I understand that.

    Hi George,

    The Input > Bevel Node, doesn't add additional Geometry like the Bevel Modifier does. It can only be used on smaller Bevels, or the effect will not look good. The opposite, is not true, you can use any of the 3 methods for small Bevels.

    As far as I know, I think using bevel with the node slows things down. Not for one object, but when you have many I have felt Eevee struggling until I remove them. So I always go with real geometry.

    Omar, the bevel node is for cycles only. At least for now.
