today i tried to make a bevel for my Bullet Proof text-effect and realized that something like this is hard to make


i tried all the techniques i know (BumpMapping, the Bevel script, layerfx, the dd technique with the Emboss filter, filling with a dimpled gradient as a bumpmap, etc.), but either all these bevels are more or less soft or you cant just bevel the edges.

Your Chisel script is this hard bevelling i was after - is there a way to modify it, so that only the edges are bevelled ?

I would keep the original transparent text and run chisel on the base layer.

you mean like an outer bevel, lylejk ?

That is what I ended up doing for this one Esper. Could have used a rought texture but decided to keep it shiny.

i have no idea how you made that, lyle



tried something with a distorted selection and an outer bevel with the chisel script

Started out with G'MIC Stencil and facked the metallic background using gradient and added texture. Not rocket science work thanks to G'MIC.

just realized, what i want is already there, its called carve

Sorry I missed you post - I was away for a while... Glad you find the option that worked for you!
