Ok, I used adobe photoshop when I made this, but other programs will probably still work. Make your shape and fill with the color. Set the color to 5E5E5E.

Bevel and Emboss
Style: Inner Bevel
Technique: Chisel Hard
Depth 100%
Direction: Up
Size: 4 px
Soften: 0 px
Angle: 120
Check use global light
Altitude: 30
Gloss Contour: straight line bottom left top right
Anti-aliased: un checked
Highlight mode: Normal, FFFFFF
Opacity: 100%
Shadow Mode: Normal, FF9900
Opacity: 60%

For Darkness
Use 1 px brush
Color: 3D3D3D
Mode: Normal
Opacity: 100%
Flow 50%

For Lightness
Use 1 px brush
Color: 696969
Mode: Normal
Opacity: 100%
Flow 50%

For the scratches, make line of the darkness on he shape, then right below the darkness make lines of lightness following the darkness's path. Also add some random one pixel dots of the darkness and a few of the lighness around then blur it just a tiny bit to add in all the little imperfections. Also take the eraser set it to one pixel and erase right where the scratches start or begin at if you choose to. With any luck you should come out with something like this http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1209148605
or this http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1114528603

I hope that helps because a lot of people don't know how to duplicate this effect and would like to know how, I just figured it out several days ago so I'm new to making this effect. I'm sure with time we will get better at doing this and find some problems with the effect, and fix them to make it look even more like the renegade lettering is. Any questions or this confusing parts, e-mail me at david0203@yahoo.com or contact me through the ways in my signature. Or you can just reply to this topic.

its "kinda" close, but you need to use a stone texture on it as well, otherwise it just looks like bubble text.


also, the edges are a bit more chisseled then what you have portrayed.


its a good starting point, but still needs some more steps to be right on.

I acturally made another one, but after i did the text stuff, i went to filter/texture/texturizer

i then changed texture to sandstone set scaling to 155% and relief to 1

i then went to filter/texture/craquelure

i set crack spacing to 20
crack depth to 3
and crack brightness to 5

and then i got this

Ohhhh. . . pretty cool, I still like the scratches more than just the indentaions, I dunno why I just like the scratches, but that looks really good. Maybe if I make the golden part of the bevel more golden, add some more orange to it. And if I make the light part of the bevel a little brighter it will look better. . . If I could just make it look like metal now.
