Hi Mvernon, I don't know if this is the type of letters in stone your looking for or not, I was just playing around? If it is = I created the rock objects in Amapi, created the 3D letters in Amapi also, did a boolean subtract = letters from rock objects. In the top rock object, I subtracted the letters completely through the rock object. In the bottom rock object, I only subtracted the letters half way through the rock object. Either way, you can still see the letters in each rock object, no matter what angle. A lot of the letter's visibility depends on the placement & angle of the lighting in the image. In this image, I placed the light at the top right side, & out in front some. Anyway, just thought I'd add my 2 1/2 cents worth, & you have a good one . . . Mark.
