Not my invention and not a very fast method but easy to tweak:

use a graphics program like PaintShop to create an image of the text, blur it,
then use that as a heightfield. Use the water level to cut of the background.
Use the same heightfield inversed to give the text a backside.

Not long ago there was an example doing this in the binaries-images group (with
the SGI-logo), but I can't remember by who.

Good luck,

Remco
