Unsharpen edges in render engines

[L i am]

Hi I know of one renderer that softens edges (to simulate the real world where hardly anything Is actually 100% sharp) within the render engine, I know that D5 does so. Does anybody know if other engines do that within the render engine?

Many have this render bevel effect. C4D, Arnold, Vray, Octane, Corner, Cycles etc...

It blends the face normal directions at the corner edges but you need to take the silhouette into account because if you get too close the illusion breaks...

It can save you a ton of render time though.

Thanks for that Rich
