Yes, I saw very nice Egg's works using that technique some years ago. But I prefer using the purity of Xara bevel for simple or precisely defined shapes. Otherwise I use it on Flash traced or Inkscape traced objects. That's just a question of personal taste.
Of course, but I prefer my own Inkscape svg filters They are so versatile and for example with my emboss ones you can precisely adjust your picture colors and contrast in the same dialog. And of course they are resolution independent ! And I also extensively use the GIMP Sinc (Lanczos3) algorithm to resize small icons without pixellation and work comfortably on them in Inkscape.
kindly,
