Interesting Bob

I will give it a try if I have some time this evening

I have seen a font that is chiseled like that. Can't remember the name, though.

You can do it with a height map and Lighting Effects. However, the only way I know how to make a height map sharp like that is with KPT3's Gradient Designer.

Wait... I think there is a tutorial on the sharp, chiseled look in one of the PhotoShop Wow! books. Then again, that tutorial might have used Gradient Designer.

Jeez.
Could I be anymore helpful?

bevel and emboss... its one of the layer styles... probably chisel hard and then mess with the depth. in reality the shadows would be diffrent on either side of that torch thats why I think its the bevel and emboss and not a lighting effect.

I did a quick one; something like this Bob?

Font: Agency FB Bold

 

[Bobzworld]

great Gaussian thats what im talkin bout
so is it the font or did you do something to it?

 

[Guest]

Bob, I used that font and I added a bevel using the settings that are shown in my attachment. Well, close to it, because I forgot to save the original file.

It's not perfect and it can still be improved, but I think you get an idea how to somehow achieve this in a quick way.
