## Overview

Screen Space Bevel is a global shader plugin that modifies GBuffer normals in screen space to simulate beveled edges without changing the original geometry.

The shader operates in the **post-render stage**, reading scene depth and GBuffer data to detect sharp transitions between surfaces.

Then adjusts surface normals locally to create the appearance of a small bevel, resulting in more natural light falloff and edge softening.
