i want a bevel shader. any renderer that doesn't have a bevel node or 'round edge' capabilities is an instant fail for me.

Appreciate the feedback.  

However I do have a question:  Bevel Modifier — Blender Manual  Blender has a modifier that does is (and seems more flexible than any shader one I've seen).  Is there a reason that isn't good enough?

They probably mean something like this.

Thanks.  No I understand how.  I'm just never been clear WHY (why rendertime and not geometry).  Of course it will be less manual work... but seems more flexible to me.
