Why did the Bevel Shader Node got removed from 2.79?

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

I have tested several of the latest experimental builds and was surprised there was no bevel node (cycles shader) in 2.79 anymore. In 2.8 it is there but It is sadly not stable enough to use for actual work.
Anyone has some insights if it will return to 2.79 ?

Hello.
From where you downloaded Blender 2.79?
This node was never in any stable release. You download Blender 2.79 from Buildbot builds.

I’ve got a fairly recent 2.79 build and it has the Bevel node. It’s in the Input section.

thanks for clearing that up. While we are on the subject does anyone knows if there will be improvements to the bevel shader ? it works well but it bakes EXTREMELY slow. I have used the Bevel Shader allot in MODO and it bakes very fast.
