The recent post on embossing is getting very close to something I have tried many times. I would like to create a 3d bubble effect. Very similar to the emboss results but with much more curvature. Got a few ideas to try based on the emboss method but thought this talented group may already know something.
Mapping Center Answer:
This isn't something we've specifically looked at though you could modify the maximum distance used in the Euclidean Distance tool that creates the initial raster so that you then get higher sides to the embossed effect. This won't create a curved surface though. Let us know if any of your ideas work out. In the meantime we'll add it to the list of techniques that we work on.
