  • is there a coreldraw plug-ins for creating bevels?

    Is there a plug in available that allows you to create nice bevels and effects around fonts and shapes, the Coreldraw 12 one has varied success and is fairly limited. I would like to start creating something more interesting.
    Thanks

    if you want to keep to vectors have a look at stevos demos very clever, but i prefer using photoshop and styles with print and cut.
    some of what you want is in x3 4 but ps has the advantage i think.

    Corel X3 and X4 does have bevels but they aren’t vector and to be fair they are a bit slow and clunky to use that said the basic shape/text remains vector and on resizing the bitmap fill is effectively recalculated. PhotoPait does have the ‘Boss’ effect which does a similar thing. I can’t speak for Photoshop but Xara Extreme does do brilliant bevels and is unbelievably fast, these can be exported as pdf and imported into Draw X4 and if lettering remains straight it comes in as a vector with a pattern fill.
