Text embossed

[pure sphinx]

Guys what's the best way to make this text on bottom of the bottle embossed like the pictures

[cold umbra]

you could use a texture with a normal map perhaps. Or sculpt it with a stencil mask

id opt for the normal map approach

if I have black and white png Pic for the text can I convert it to a normal/displacement map in blender?

[cold umbra]

maybe use this https://www.smart-page.net/smartnormal/

or this with your B&W

(plug the colour of the image into the height socket)

It doesn't look good in bump node it isn't embossed enough

try increase the strength

you can type numbers larger than 1 in the box even though the slider wont let you

It doesn't go well with close up shot I'll try displacement map with subdivision

i think it would be easier to just use booleans no?

[odd dust]

@pure sphinx this is a great way to do it

[cold umbra]

Can leave bad geometry and that leads to bad shading so I personally avoid bools at all costs

[odd dust]

I dont think it should be too big of an issue in this case

More intricate and organic shapes yes

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. The bottle surface needs to be smooth glass and I don't think the booleans will do it any favours. Not without a lot of work to fex geometry after

i agree to disagree to agree
