==Overview==
The '''Bevel''' filetype is used to determine unique generation for LittleBigPlanet's [[Procedural Material]] system, which can allow for multiple materials and unique effects.
==Fields==
===GFX Materials===
The <code>materials</code> field is a list of '''[[Resource:GFX Material|Gmat]]''' files used for the bevel. The first material in the list will be replaced by whatever the main current gmat for the material is.
If a slot is left blank, loading the index for that material will load nothing, which is used in some cases to make unique vertex positions.

===UV Scales===
The <code>UVScales</code> field is a list of '''float''' values for each of the gmats, which scale the size of each of the materials.

===AutoSmooth Cutoff Angle===
The <code>autoSmoothCutoffAngle</code> field is a '''float''' that determines at what angle (0.0 to 360.0) that the generation will begin rounding corners.

===Vertices===
The <code>vertices</code> field is an '''array''' of the bevel's vertexes.

Vertexes are generated from the back of the shape to the front, with the last vertex being the front face. This also means that the face for a vertex is created from the previous vertex.

====Y Position====
The <code>y</code> field is a '''float''' that determines the position of the vertex facing away from a vertex of the material's bounding box. At 0.0, it aligns with the bounding box, with values below 0.0 being on the inside of the bounding box and values above 0.0 being on the outside.

====Z Position====
The <code>z</code> field is a '''float''' that determines the in/out position of the vertex relative to the material's bounding box. At 1.0, the vertex will be at the front of the bounding box, and at -1.0 the vertex will be at the back of the bounding box. Values inbetween are quadratic instead of linear; values 0.5 and above will be very close to the edge of the bounding box, while values closer to 0.0 will be near the center.

====Rigidity====
The <code>rigidity</code> field is a '''float''' that was intended for the removed soft physics option for materials; at 0.0 the vertex will be fully soft, and at 1.0 the vertex will be fully rigid.

====Smooth with Previous====
The <code>smoothWithPrevious</code> field is a '''bool''' that determines if the current vertex will map smoothly with the previous one; smooth vertexes will use the same UVs and have smooth normals, while non-smooth vertexes will have a visible seam and unique UV mapping.

====Gmat Slot====
The <code>gmatSlot</code> field for vertexes determines which gmat (0-3) is used from the list of materials.

====Mapping Mode====
The <code>mappingMode</code> field is used to determine the UVs for the current vertex.

=====DAVE=====
Mapping mode <code>DAVE</code> is the standard mapping mode for procedural mesh generation; it was named after '''David Smith''', one of the technical directors at [[Media Molecule]] and the main designer behind the procedural mesh system for the game.

=====CYLINDER=====
Mapping mode <code>CYLINDER</code> will take the standard mapping and rotate it so that it tiles vertically along the edge of the bevel.

=====CYLINDER_01=====
<code>CYLINDER_01</code> is identical to the <code>CYLINDER</code> mapping mode, but will adjust the x-axis scale of the UVs for the material to be constrained to the gmat's boundaries (which applies to every smooth vertex with the same material).

=====PLANARXZ=====
The <code>PLANARXZ</code> mapping mode is identical to the <code>CYLINDER</code> mapping mode, but any UVs vertically with the generation will be stretched to have 0.0 on the y-axis. This seems to be solely used for the cardboard bevels, since a sheet of cardboard doesn't have ridges on all sides.

=====PLANARXZ_01=====
<code>PLANARXZ_01</code> is a mix of <code>CYLINDER_01</code> and <code>PLANARXZ</code>, with the x-axis being scaled to the gmat's boundaries.

====Include Backface====
The <code>includeBackface</code> field is a '''bool''' is a removed option that would have enabled additional face generation for the back of the mesh, which is not normally visible in game.

====Smooth with Front====
The <code>smoothWithFront</code> field is a '''bool''' that determines if the frontmost vertex will map smoothly with the front face or not.

====Relax Strength====
The <code>relaxStrength</code> field is a '''float''' that determines the roundness of the shape; with higher values, the rounder the shape.

====Subdivision Radius====
The <code>subDivRadius</code> field is a '''float''' that determines the amount of subdivision, which will split up the generated shape into more vertexes. At 1.0 there is very little subdivision and at 0.0 there is major subdivision.

====Fixed Bevel Size====
The <code>fixedBevelSize</code> field determines the scale of the bevel; larger values will scale up the mesh generation, but also mean that floating point errors will be scaled up as well. The standard size is 10.0. If this field is left blank, it will be overwritten by the value in the '''[[Part:Shape|Shape]]''' part of the procedural material generation.

====Spongy====
The <code>spongy</code> field is a '''bool''' that disables <code>subDivRadius</code> when it is enabled. This allows for some unique shape generation.

====Soft Physics Settings====
The <code>softPhysicsSettings</code> field uses a [[Soft Physics Settings]] '''resource''' for the material; since softphysics for materials was removed, this does nothing.

====Texture Repeats====
The <code>textureRepeats</code> field is a '''float''' that determines the amount of texture repeats used for the gmats.
