A different 3-D looking effect.

Start With some ``roundish'' text.	I used baskerville 75pix antialias 3,	c-N c-T
Duplicate it and then Blur and Invert U-2 and Duplicate it again	Gaussian-Blur 3 was OK for this text size	a-D s+a-B a-I
Now Add U-1 and U-2		a-A
Apply Multiplicative Brightness -150 to U-3
Create a mask in a new canvas with the Blend tool. Make it about the same height as the text		c-N L
Now you add U-3 and U-5, and then		a-A
And then Multiply U-4 and U-6...getting confused?	...well I am	a-M
Offset U-2, Multiply U-2 and U-7	I offset with x=2 and y=2	a-O a-M
And finally the fun part. Apply som BCG until you get the color you want	Actually I used it as black and white but why not in color :)	Map/ BCG

This would probably have been better if the blur around the text would have been smaller. When I did it in B&W it was OK but in color it turned out too bright.
