It is strange, I don't know why this happens (I'll try to find out).

**axnsan** · June 23, 2009, 02:00 PM

You only need o add some bevel.Maybe you skip that step.

**axnsan** · June 24, 2009, 12:14 AM

no. i did it exactly how described, two times
both times it went FUBAR at the bump-mapping

**Radboud** · June 24, 2009, 01:16 AM

Did you select the proper layer at the final bump map phase ?

**axnsan** · June 24, 2009, 02:21 AM

well, in the pictures the layer tab is cut off, i can't really see what layers you have selected or the order they are arranged in

Try to adjust the 2nd Bump maps "Waterlevel".

heres the pic from the OP. Warterlevel is set to "0". Try and raise it.

nevermind, i got it. i was selecting the layers in the layer tab rather than the drop down menu in the bump-map pop-up

Look in the gathered tutorials thread, I posted one for photoshop there.

**Fev** · June 30, 2009, 06:26 AM

Thanks, glad I could help. Btw, you can't give rep yet.

Edit : I have reposted the pictures since my old photobucket account has expired.

Pics of tutorial are not working anymore

Hard to figure out how to do this again...

**Lifthrasir** · September 25, 2017, 03:54 AM

You just need to go to this site for example: www.dafont.com
Download the font you want and install it (double clic most of the time).

That's it. You should be able to use that font directly with Gimp or Photoshop.

Btw, the font you're looking for is Ringbearer and can be found here

Hope it helps.
