3D effects: every facet's seam has round joins - #6980
3D facets are stroked with a narrow seam of their own paint so neighbouring facets meet without an
antialiasing hairline. In Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate under a white light, and in every
face of the three 3D (Classic) effects (Extrude & Bevel, Rotate and Revolve), that seam kept the
default Miter Join (limit 10). A facet seen almost
edge-on is a sliver, and its mitered seam reached up to ten times its half-width past the facet's tip:
thorns of up to 3.75 pt past the solid, visible along the tops of tilted type and at edge-on bevel facets.
This gives every 3D seam a round join, made in one place (lighting::seam_stroke). Colored-light seams,
Revolve's and Wireframe edges were already round; Rotate (Classic) and Revolve (Classic) draw through classic::surface, so they take the same seam.
This reverses part of #2706 on purpose.#2706 kept white-light seam joins exactly as they were so
legacy white-light output stayed byte-identical. That also kept the thorns. Paints and alpha composition
stay as #2706 left them; only the join changes.
No version gate: exports (SVG stroke-linejoin="round", PDF, .ai) and Expand Appearance output
change, but nothing a document stores selects the join and the format is unchanged.
Why round: projected facets rarely have right-angle corners, and round is what colored lights and
Revolve already draw. Cost: convex corners of facets with no neighbour (Rotate's plane, silhouette
corners) round by up to 0.375 pt.
Alternatives not taken: a Miter Join limit near √2 at every seam (it would bevel slivers but
chamfer most projected corners too); seaming only shared edges or clipping facets to their union (keeps
outer corners sharp, but a new geometry pass for every 3D effect).
Visual bounds shrink by up to 3.375 pt where a thorn stood.
How it was tested
a_faces_seam_stays_within_half_its_width_of_the_face: every seam of Extrude & Bevel, Extrude &
Bevel (Classic, each branch), Rotate (Classic, No Shading, Diffuse and a gradient, each branch
checked), Inflate and Rotate, under white and colored light, has round joins and reaches no more
than half its width past its face, at views that make a sliver. A mitered seam_stroke fails it.
classic_revolves_seams_are_round: Revolve (Classic)'s Plastic, Diffuse and No Shading seams, and
a gradient's, are round and reach no more than half their width past their face. A mitered seam_stroke fails it.
Not covered: lighting::facet_art's solid-color branch (a white light given as a color ramp) is
not reached by any current 3D path, so no test reaches its seam; it was already round and now
takes seam_stroke like the rest.
legacy_white_inflate_keeps_polygon_faces_and_its_seam_range now expects Round; a mitered seam fails it.
Before/after renders of tilted type, a sharp star and a Classic star (thorns gone), and the corner
rounding this costs (in the issue).
Performance: one loaded run of vectorcraft-cli bench on a white-light scene showed no difference
beyond noise (docs/3d-lighting-performance.md). vectorcraft-cli perf still needs to be re-run on an
idle machine; a CI number from a reviewer would be welcome.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Visual Updates
Seams across supported 3D effects now use rounded joins, including white-light and Classic effects. Facet corners may look different from earlier renders, particularly under white light.
Seam widths remain within documented bounds. Some wireframe edges already used rounded joins and are unchanged.
Documentation
Updated 3D effect guides and parity notes to describe rounded seams, affected effects, and expected visual differences.
Added performance comparison details and commands for reproducing measurements.
Each 3D facet is stroked with a narrow seam of its own paint (0.05 to
0.75 pt; Revolve's is always 0.75 pt) so neighboring facets meet without
an antialiasing hairline. In Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate under a
white light, and in every face of the 3D (Classic) effects (Extrude &
Bevel, Rotate and Revolve (Classic); shaded, No Shading, gradient and
pattern alike), that seam kept the default Miter Join with its limit
of 10. Revolve's seams and the colored-light seams
were already round. A facet seen almost edge-on is a sharp sliver, and
its mitered seam reached up to ten times its half-width past the facet's
tip: thorns of up to 3.75 pt past the solid, along the tops of type seen
tilted and at every edge-on bevel facet.
storytold#2706 (multiple lights) deliberately kept white-light seam joins as they
were, so that legacy white-light output stayed byte-identical to main
(its comment "Preserve existing white-light paints, alpha composition and
seam joins exactly", and four PNGs compared byte for byte). That kept
the thorns too. This change reverses that one part on purpose: the
paints and alpha composition stay exactly as storytold#2706 left them; only the
join changes.
- Outputs change, the document model doesn't. Exports draw the new
joins (SVG writes stroke-linejoin="round", PDF and .ai draw round
joins), and Expand Appearance writes round seams into the document.
But nothing a document stores selects the join, and the format is
unchanged, so there is no version gate: an old file drawn now simply
has no thorns.
- Round joins. Projected facets rarely have right-angle corners (a
square seen at an angle is a parallelogram with acute corners, and an
exact 90° corner sits at a √2 limit), and round is what the seams of
colored lights and Revolve already draw. The cost: where a facet has
no neighbor (Rotate's plane, every silhouette corner) its convex
corners are drawn rounded by up to 0.375 pt instead of sharp.
Alternatives weighed and not taken: a Miter Join with a limit near √2
at every seam, the composed clip included, which would bevel slivers
but chamfer most projected corners as well; and seaming only the edges
facets share, or clipping facets to their union as solid_surface
does, which would keep every outer corner sharp but means a new
geometry pass for every 3D effect. Round is the smallest change that
matches the seams already drawn.
- A seam no longer reaches past its facet by more than half its width,
so the art's visual bounds shrink by up to 3.375 pt where a thorn
stood (10 × 0.375 less the 0.375 a round seam still reaches).
White-light output is no longer byte-identical to storytold#2706's comparison;
docs/3d-lighting-performance.md says so.
Every seam stroke is made by lighting::seam_stroke. The colored clip in
composed_art already outlined its seam with round joins and is
unchanged. Tests: every seam of Extrude & Bevel, Extrude & Bevel (Classic, each
branch), Rotate (Classic), Inflate and Rotate, under white and colored
light, has round joins and reaches no more than half its width past its
face, at views that make a sliver; Revolve (Classic)'s seams are round
on each surface; a mitered seam fails them, and so does the legacy
white-light Inflate test, which now expects Round.

Walkthrough
3D effect renderers now use a shared helper to create round-joined seam strokes. Regression tests check join types and seam outlines across standard and Classic effects. Documentation describes seam behavior and updates performance comparisons.

Summary
Shared seam construction and effect integration crates/effects/src/lighting.rs, crates/effects/src/solids.rs, crates/effects/src/solids/classic.rs, crates/effects/src/revolve.rs
A shared helper creates round-joined seam strokes. The 3D effect renderers use it while retaining their existing paint and width inputs.
Tests check round joins and seam outlines across standard and Classic effects, including sharp and near-edge-on faces. The legacy Inflate test now expects round joins.
Behavior and measurement records docs/three-d.md, docs/3d-lighting-performance.md, docs/effects-parity.md, docs/gaps.md, docs/target-app-parity.md
Documentation records round-join behavior and its effect on earlier white-light comparisons. Performance notes report separate round-seam measurements and reproduction details.
storytold/vectorcraft#6515 — The report includes a visible stroke after Classic Extrude & Bevel and object expansion. This change updates seam joins for Classic 3D faces, but the expansion behavior may have a separate cause.
storytold/vectorcraft#6517 — This issue reports a similar visible stroke after Classic Extrude & Bevel. The seam-join change overlaps with that output, but the reported expansion behavior is not addressed.
This change makes the seams on 3D facets use round joins, which removes long miter spikes. Paints and alpha composition are unchanged, and exports and Expand Appearance output change slightly at facet corners. The documentation now matches the behavior, so no merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation
The description follows the template. It has the 'What and why' section, which explains the miter-join thorns, the round-join fix, the alternatives considered, and the trade-offs. It has the 'How it was tested' section, which lists the new tests, the legacy test update, the visual checks, and the performance status. It also has the checklist, which records the CI results, the two failing UI tests on main, and the no-panics, clean-room, and ASSETS.md items. The description links issue #6979. Its one gap is that the 'Before/after renders' item refers to renders in the issue, not attached here, but that is a minor point. The description is mostly complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #6979 requires round joins on 3D facet seams under white light (Extrude & Bevel, Inflate, Rotate) and on every face of the 3D (Classic) effects, with seam paint and width unchanged. At the current head (0620df7), lighting::seam_stroke sets LineJoin::Round on the seam StrokeLayer. I read crates/effects/src/lighting.rs and crates/effects/src/solids/classic.rs at head. classic::surface uses seam_stroke for Wireframe edges and for face seams in the unshaded, solid-color, gradient and pattern branches. facet_art and solid_surface in lighting.rs also call it. The PR summary reports the same call sites in solids.rs and revolve.rs, which I did not read directly. Revolve (Classic) draws through classic::surface, so it takes the same seam. Colored-light seams and Wireframe edges were already round and keep that join. The corner-rounding cost is accepted in the issue. The named tests (a_faces_seam_stays_within_half_its_width_of_the_face, classic_revolves_seams_are_round, and the updated legacy_white_inflate_keeps_polygon_faces_and_its_seam_range) are described in the PR and summary. I did not run them. The head changed since the last reviewed head, so I reassessed the seam code. The performance re-run and CI notes are non-coding and were not assessed.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The code changes serve the seam-join objective of #6979. seam_stroke in lighting.rs is the single place that sets the round join. The call sites in lighting.rs, solids/classic.rs, solids.rs and revolve.rs replace inline seam setup with that helper. Removed StrokeLayer and LineJoin imports follow from that refactor. Test changes in solids/tests.rs and tests_shadow.rs cover round joins and seam reach for the affected effects. Documentation changes (three-d.md, gaps.md, effects-parity.md, target-app-parity.md, 3d-lighting-performance.md) record the join change and its limits. I read lighting.rs and classic.rs at head and found no unrelated code path. solids.rs, revolve.rs, the test files and the docs were assessed from the whole-PR summary, not a full diff read. The UI test failures and the CI status concern test infrastructure, not code scope, and were not treated as out-of-scope changes.

Reviewed the complete seam-helper/call-site changes and geometric regression cases across modern and Classic surfaces. Existing opacity, paint and seam widths remain intact; the round join consistently bounds the former miter spike. The tests check actual outlined reach and ensure acute cases are exercised, rather than checking only the enum. No source blocker found. Approval awaits the still-running exact-head Ubuntu gate; affinity3 and SonarCloud passed. No local tests or independent rendering/performance measurements were run.
Thanks @addibble! Approved and green, but this conflicts with main after the batch that just landed. Could you rebase? It'll go in as soon as CI is green.
Extruded type with a taper showed a row of light ticks along its walls,
and with a stroke a long light line down a wall (#7019).
A taper only scales each wall's far edge toward the center of the
bounds as it goes back: the scale is linear in depth, so without a
twist each wall stays a flat trapezoid, bevel bands included. The walls
were cut into 8 slices all the same, and at every joint between slices
a neighbor's seam painted a light tick onto the wall. Walls are now cut
into slices only for a twist, which bends them; the ticks and the long
line are gone from tapered, untwisted walls. Twisted walls and Inflate's
sides are sliced as before.
A tapered wall now draws like an untapered one, with three effects:
- A wall seen almost edge-on ends in one longer sliver instead of the
last of its slices. With mitered seams that sliver's thorn is longer;
round seam joins (#6980) keep it within half the seam's width.
- Its seam is as wide as an untapered wall's (the width follows the
face's thickness, up to 0.75 pt), wider than a slice's was.
- It is sorted by one depth, like an untapered wall, so at a concave
corner it can be drawn over a nearer face where the slices had
happened to avoid that (#7023).
Test: solid::tests::a_tapered_wall_is_one_flat_face_and_a_twisted_one_is_sliced
checks that a tapered square's four walls are four flat faces, that a
taper adds no faces to a circle's walls, with bevels (both sides,
inside), in perspective or hollow, and that a twisted wall is still
sliced. With taper slicing it fails (32 wall faces for the square's 4,
608 for the circle's 76).

Fixes #6979.
What and why
3D facets are stroked with a narrow seam of their own paint so neighbouring facets meet without an
antialiasing hairline. In Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate under a white light, and in every
face of the three 3D (Classic) effects (Extrude & Bevel, Rotate and Revolve), that seam kept the
default Miter Join (limit 10). A facet seen almost
edge-on is a sliver, and its mitered seam reached up to ten times its half-width past the facet's tip:
thorns of up to 3.75 pt past the solid, visible along the tops of tilted type and at edge-on bevel facets.
This gives every 3D seam a round join, made in one place (
lighting::seam_stroke). Colored-light seams,Revolve's and Wireframe edges were already round; Rotate (Classic) and Revolve (Classic) draw through
classic::surface, so they take the same seam.This reverses part of #2706 on purpose. #2706 kept white-light seam joins exactly as they were so
legacy white-light output stayed byte-identical. That also kept the thorns. Paints and alpha composition
stay as #2706 left them; only the join changes.

corners) round by up to 0.375 pt.
