engravings, eh? well, to model em, maybe boolean them out, or a displace map, but a disp map requires a LOT of polygons.
otherwise you could do it with the texture...a combination of color and bump map, but it wouldnt look as good as modeling it. i've never made engraved text before, but i'm sure what i said would work.
