Smooth Face Bevelling?

[spectecjr]

Does anyone know any tricks to get a smooth face with the bevel tool?

Here's an example:

I'd like to make the entire face smooth, so that the surface looks glassy, instead of the discontinuity between the bevel and the surface.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Set your Light Elevation setting to about 30%.

Also if you use 80% contrast as well, it helps to make the top surface appear smoother.

Two other ways:

1. Bevelled line (not my idea, someone else has posted this clever trick here.) It can even be bended ans spapped on-fly as usual line even when the bevel is applied.

2. Bevelled shape covered by the feathered shape. This also works on other shapes (like triangles and so on)


See in the attached picture:
