Terry,

This is very cool.  It does remind me of a bevel function out of some other illustration programs, but this seems a lot cooler.  Any thoughts on adding some thing to adjust the color of the shadow/highlight?

This could really cut sometime out of a lot of tasks.  Great addition!

Implementung my own suggestion for an alternative approach to 3d
edges (the bloodsplat discussion), I came up with the attached
(screen shot).

Basically you take your shape.  Maybe add more nodes.  Then colour
each internode based on its angle relative to the illumination
angle.

So far all my effect does is the above, handling the grouping,
bluring, and clipping as well would be nice, but I don't know the
API that well, and am just doing everything by reverse engineering.

Where could I put the code?
