There's a fast way of doing it. Get a freeware app called elefont and make your text in there using whatever font and style you want. Export dxf or whatever format it has. Bring it into bryce and boolean. Texture if you want cuz even a boolean will show the texture on the engraving if you set that in your properties box. Two caveats. 1) If you boolean the text group (each letter is an object) it won't work cuz the individual letters have to be a negative and they are neutral by default. So, move your text group to an open area in the workspace, ungroup. Set each letter to negative. Group again and set the group to negative, then boolean with your object. If you run into any problems ... just put your group where you want it and ungroup then boolean again. 2) This doesn't work well on curved survaces unless you move each letter in place by hand (ie, no text as a group).
