Help with texture

Hello,

Im using the attached image as a bump map for a centre cap on a wheel, however i've run into a problem.


In the other attached image the centre cap is black, with the silver logo. Now how do i texture like this? Im texturing onto just one poly

If i have it set to one colour, for example white, the bump map works fine, and raises off etc. But how would i set it so the raised area remains white (eventually silver) but the background area stays black.

I just can get my head around it!

:?

you would need to either model the logo, or use an image as a diffuse map.

Send a message via MSN to NightEye
Or apply the image with an alphamap

Modeling the logo would be thousand times easier though.
