# Emboss Surface

> Emboss surface with 3D relief effect

A Background component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @educlopez, version 1.0.0, MIT licence.

Renders a surface with a 3D emboss or deboss effect. Applies shadows and colors based on variant and light angle. Use for visual depth in backgrounds or interactive elements.

## Install

```bash
npx layro-cli add @educlopez/emboss-surface
```

Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/educlopez/emboss-surface.json`

npm packages: motion
