Re: Petition for Bevels - Bring back the bevels!

I can remember back when bevels were first released. Roblox started off as just another plain game... maybe some interesting concepts; blocky blocks. Blocks looked pretty much the same way they do now. Then, bevels showed up. I remember the blog post describing them as "eye candy." Users loved them. I loved them. Bevels became an incredibly large part of Roblox; they gave the game that sort of charm that couldn't be destroyed... until Roblox decided to remove them. Now, I acknowledge the fact that the Roblox team wants to move on and bring better performance, better features, and a better environment for new users to adapt to. Bevels did have their downsides, such as that you couldn't have materials without them. I admit, that was annoying at times, but the least Roblox can do now is to bring back bevels - not as the only way a regular block could be rendered, but as an additional option.

Yes, Roblox has said that the current lighting system is "not compatible" with bevels, and that is supposedly why they are ditching them. Anyone experienced, in any way, with the way rendering engines work knows very well that this is false; it is but a matter of more polygons to render. Thus, this petition hereby requests that roblox bring back bevels in the form of an additional option that users can toggle alongside those of transparency, reflectance, and color of a block.

"the current lighting system is "not compatible" with bevels"

If they did say that then its not true as the lighting works fine on our characters (who did retain their bevels)

I would prefer a return for bevels (As an option) but nothing we can do will change their mind. Petitions get you nowhere, by the way (Maybe getting warned/banned, but never have I seen a successful petition)

Well I will say yes although the chances of this going through are slim at best...

Sam, I don't think you quite understand how roblox's rendering system works. The lighting has nothing to do with it - lights are rendered on a per-pixel basis,

The problem here is roblox's style. They don't want bevels because they don't match the style roblox is trying to achieve.

I agree, they should be brought back, but as an option.
I'm sure with enough time and effort, roblox could get it to work right.
Also it would bring back sort of that more classic look.
Roblox has been trying to advance too much and older users like myself miss the classic look, and now that bevels are gone, that look is even farther past.
So, bring back bevels!

That doesn't work. Bevels have been turned off for everything except characters.

Mmhmmm No reversing updates is not WNTS, it's bring it ALL back.

This is not requesting something to be returned fully, but in a smaller feature. I find no reason to not add this. This would help users how are more effective with bevels be allowed to use it, but not in its full self, just a more downsized version.

ROBLOX never said bevels are permanently gone, just that they weren't compatible with their new lighting, so it's a possibility that when the new lighting is rounded out and perfected then MAYBE bevels will return.

As an option, I support. Really though, I like it better without them, I've noticed some serious performance improvements and far less lag than before.
