Make an option for a plane with rounded edges

[The15Coder]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I frequently encounter frustration when creating image, container, or geometric designs with non-rounded edges. I believe that incorporating rounded edges into such designs, regardless of whether they are plane geometries, rectangles, images, or containers, improves the overall user experience by contributing to a more comfortable and streamlined design.

Describe the solution you'd like
To enhance the user experience using Curtain.js, I would suggest implementing a new option or version of the plane used to create 3D interactions and animations. This new option would incorporate rounded edges into the plane geometry, creating a more organic and visually appealing design.

One possible solution is to create a custom geometry using Three.js, a popular JavaScript library for creating 3D graphics. This custom geometry would consist of a plane with rounded edges, which could then be used in conjunction with Curtain.js to create powerful 3D animations and interactions.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Custom code modification: One possible solution is to modify the existing code to add the functionality for creating rounded edges planes. This could be achieved by manipulating the geometry of the plane in a way that rounds the edges or by adding a new shader that creates the rounded effect
Pre-made models: Rather than creating planes with code, pre-made models with rounded edges could be used. These models can be easily found and downloaded from online repositories, and then used within the code to create the desired animations and interactions

Additional context
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss curtainjs with other developers and designers who have used the framework in their projects. Specifically, I am interested in modifying the design of the planes to incorporate rounded edges.

Specially in this project :

window.addEventListener("load", () => {
    let planeDrawn = 0;
    const debugElement = document.getElementById("debug-value");
    const curtains = new Curtains({
        container: "canvas",
        antialias: false, // render targets will disable default antialiasing anyway
        pixelRatio: Math.min(1.5, window.devicePixelRatio) // limit pixel ratio for performance
    });

    curtains.onRender(() => {
        // update our planes deformation
        // increase/decrease the effect
        scrollEffect = curtains.lerp(scrollEffect, 0, 0.05);

        // update our number of planes drawn debug value
        debugElement.innerText = planeDrawn;
    }).onScroll(() => {
        // get scroll deltas to apply the effect on scroll
        const delta = curtains.getScrollDeltas();

        // invert value for the effect
        delta.y = -delta.y;

        // threshold
        if(delta.y > 60) {
            delta.y = 60;
        }
        else if(delta.y < -60) {
            delta.y = -60;
        }

        if(Math.abs(delta.y) > Math.abs(scrollEffect)) {
            scrollEffect = curtains.lerp(scrollEffect, delta.y, 0.5);
        }

        // update the plane positions during scroll
        for(let i = 0; i < planes.length; i++) {
            // apply additional translation, scale and rotation
            applyPlanesParallax(i);
        }

    }).onError(() => {
        // we will add a class to the document body to display original images
        document.body.classList.add("no-curtains", "planes-loaded");
    }).onContextLost(() => {
        // on context lost, try to restore the context
        curtains.restoreContext();
    });

    // we will keep track of all our planes in an array
    const planes = [];
    let scrollEffect = 0;

    // get our planes elements
    const planeElements = document.getElementsByClassName("plane");

    const vs = `
        precision mediump float;

If anyone has expertise in achieving this effect without impacting the functionality of the framework, I encourage them to contact me via email @omar.boudhar2008@gmail.com or the discussion panel.
