The EMBOSS effect gives your artwork depth by creating the appearance of raised or indented designs on the fill surface. This effect adds a 3D quality to your work, making it stand out with realistic lighting and shadows.
Note: This effect is not applicable to Text, Trace, or Wireframe fills.
The emboss effect has two main properties that you can adjust to create exactly the look you want:
Height
Height controls how pronounced the effect appears. Use positive values for a raised effect (making elements appear to come forward) or negative values for an indented effect (making elements appear to sink into the surface).
height: 33% | height: -33% | height: 100% |

Smoothness
Smoothness adjusts how gradually the emboss effect transitions. Higher values create a softer, more blended effect, while lower values produce sharper, more defined edges.
