A bunch of grindcore / deathcore / goregrind / etc bands have this 3D effect on their logos, giving them a sort of "mountain" texture where the edges taper upward to a central point. See the images below. I doubt any of the bands are Christian, I'm just referencing their logos for example purposes. What I need to know is: how do you create this effect?

There's an option in Photoshop called Embossing I believe where you can adjust the "mountain look" to your liking.

That probably explains it. I use GIMP, not Photoshop. GIMP has an embossing feature but the result doesn't look like this. The result looks more like a flat "plateau" than a "mountain".

Yeah, I went to the emboss in Photoshop and tried to make a "mountainous" version of the Orationem logo, just to see if I could. Nope. Not even close to the results in the original post. EDIT: I tried again and inverted the color. Eh.... kinda.... They must do something else to get their logos to have that peak in the middle. All I'm getting too is the plateau like NI mentioned. EDIT EDIT: Photoshop's Filter > Sketch > Plaster effect looks CONSIDERABLY more like the logos in the original post, than using Photoshop Emboss. The peaks are rounded, but they're there. I have to run out of town and don't have time, but I'm sure they could be sharpened with the right Plaster settings.

It seems a GIMP filter called "Bevel" does something like this but looking on forums, it seems the feature is broken on the version I have. I'll try it out tomorrow.
Maybe I'll finally just get Photoshop and try the plaster filter too. I remember years ago you had to pay for Photoshop which I really don't feel like doing... Is there a free version now?

It is the "Bevel" effect. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!
