bunp maps work really well. but the best way is to create your text
in 2s shaper. loft it in lofter. in 3d editor if your stone is flat,
just positon the text on the stone slightly sbmerging it in the stone
and adjusting the scale for proper fit. do a subtract boolean
operation, text from stone. if the stone is rounded or has a curved
surface. use object bend to bend the text to the same curv of the
stone surface and adjust its scale for proper fit. move the text
slightly submerged into the stone. do a boolean of the text from
stone. in boolean operations you need to have your surfaces full of
faces. for this use object tesselate seeting (0) on your objects.
