Unity UI Bevel or Emboss effect

Bevel.cs

using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace UnityEngine.UI
{
    [AddComponentMenu("UI/Effects/Bevel", 15)]
    public class Bevel : Shadow
    {
        [SerializeField] private Color highlightColor;

        protected Bevel()
        { }

        public override void ModifyVertices(List<UIVertex> verts)
        {
            if (!IsActive())
                return;

            var start = 0;
            var end = verts.Count;
            ApplyShadow(verts, highlightColor, start, verts.Count, -effectDistance.x, effectDistance.y);

            start = end;
            ApplyShadow(verts, effectColor, start, verts.Count, effectDistance.x, -effectDistance.y);
        }
    }
}

How to use this script?

I've updated the code to work in 2020.x version. Just create a class Bevel.cs and paste it. Then, add Bevel component to your UI Element.

Please note, ListPool<T> is an internal class of UnityEngine till 2021.1 version. So, if you're trying this in 2021.1 or more, please remove ListPool<T> and ObjectPool<T>.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.Events;

namespace UnityEngine.UI
{
    [AddComponentMenu("UI/Effects/Bevel", 15)]
    public class Bevel : Shadow
    {
        [SerializeField] private Color highlightColor;

        protected Bevel()
        { }
        public override void ModifyMesh(VertexHelper vh)
        {
            if (!IsActive())
                return;

            var verts = ListPool<UIVertex>.Get();
            vh.GetUIVertexStream(verts);

            var start = 0;
            var end = verts.Count;
            ApplyShadow(verts, highlightColor, start, verts.Count, -effectDistance.x, effectDistance.y);

            start = end;
            ApplyShadow(verts, effectColor, start, verts.Count, effectDistance.x, -effectDistance.y);
            vh.Clear();
            vh.AddUIVertexTriangleStream(verts);
            ListPool<UIVertex>.Release(verts);
        }

    }
