Visit Bevel World

Now you're ready to apply the Bevel World dynamic plugin to the text you created.

1. With the file open in Painter 7™, open the Layers section of the Objects palette.
2. Click the Dynamic Plugins button and choose Bevel World.
3. Click the Commit button in the Commit dialog box that displays. To use the dynamic plugin on the text layer, you must commit the text object to an image layer.
4. Sculpt the bevel by moving the various slope, height, and portion sliders in the Bevel World dialog box that displays. View their effect in the preview window and on the text in the image file.
   This commits thetext object to an image layer, which is required to use the Bevel World dynamic plugin.
5. Click the Outside Color box and, in the Color Picker dialog box, select a color for the outside portion of the bevel you will apply.
6. Click OK to close the Color Picker dialog box.
7. Back in Bevel World, move the Outside Portion slider to add the selected color to the bevel's outer edge.
8. Click the Light Color box, and choose a color from the Color Picker dialog box that will give a good range of tints as you create peaks and valleys in your Beveled Text. Use the light controls to accentuate the bevel parameters.
9. If you want to keep a version of your original text for future experimentation, save the file with another filename.

Now you have the beveled text on its own layer in the image. You can add a background to another layer to enhance the text.
