EmbossGlass In the S_Emboss Plugin. The Source is embossed and warped using the Bumps input as a relief map and lens image. A chrominance distortion is also performed, separating the spectrum for a 'prismatic' look. Increase the Bumps Smooth parameter for bolder bumps, and adjust the Light Dir to illuminate the bumps from different angles. Inputs: Source:  The clip to be processed. Bumps:  The bump map and lens source for the emboss.

Parameters:

Light Dir:   X & Y,   Default: [0.3 0.3],  Range: any,  Shared.
The direction vector for the light source. Surface shading is calculated using light from this direction shining onto the Bumps input. This parameter can be adjusted using the Light Dir Widget.

Bumps Scale:   Default: 1,  Range: any,  Shared.
Scales the amplitude of the bump map.

Bumps Threshold:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater,  Shared.
This value is subtracted from the Bumps input before it is used.

Bumps Smooth:   Default: 0.1,  Range: 0 or greater.
If positive, the Bumps input is blurred by this amount before being used. Increase for a softer emboss effect.

Subpixel Smooth:   Check-box,  Default: off,  Shared.
If enabled, the amount of pre-smoothing of the Bumps input is performed at subpixel accuracy. It can be helpful if Bumps Smooth is very small or is being animated. This parameter has no effect unless Bumps Smooth is positive.

Hilite Brightnss:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the specular highlights.

Hilite Size:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0.1 or greater.
Adjusts the size of the specular highlights.

Lens Amount:   Default: 1,  Range: any.
The severity of the lens warping distortion. Make negative to invert the direction of the distortions.

Warp Red:   Default: 0.5,  Range: any.
The magnitude of lens distortion for the red end of the spectrum. Make negative to invert the direction of the red distortions.

Warp Blue:   Default: 1,  Range: any.
The magnitude of lens distortion for the blue end of the spectrum. Make negative to invert the direction of the blue distortions.

Steps:   Integer,  Default: 5,  Range: 3 to 100.
The number of color samples along the spectrum to include. More steps give a smoother result, but require more time to process.

Filter:   Check-box,  Default: on,  Shared.
If enabled, the image is adaptively filtered when it is resampled. This gives a better quality result when parts of the image are warped smaller.

Brightness:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater,  Shared.
Scales the brightness of the result.

Light Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1],  Shared.
The color of the light source that creates the embossed result.

Wrap:   X & Y,  Popup menu,  Default: [REFLECT REFLECT].
Determines the method for accessing outside the borders of the source image.

NO:  gives black beyond the borders.

TILE:  repeats a copy of the image.

REFLECT:  repeats a mirrored copy. Edges are often less visible with this method.
