Re: How to do carved text in texture
I've had a go at this, and you can see the results in http://www.finaleirc.com/g_s_223/misc/letters2.svg . There are two slightly different filters, one for each text object, go to Object -> Filter Effects...
With the first one, if you stare at it for a while it seems to pop out, there's some kind of optical illusion. With the second, it looks like letters in relief rather than carved I'm afraid.
If anyone else wants to have a go, feel free
