Need Help with Beveled text with bitmap fill corel draw x7

How do I create a Bevel effect with a bitmap fill? I know how to make the text beveled and i know how to make the text have a bitmap fill I just don't know how to do both together. I am using corel draw x7. I could also use Illustrator i just prefer corel draw

Here is the effect I am trying to copy the word TORMENTA. I know this is a cheesy design but the customer wants this exact image on magnets for his truck.

I'd use the supplied jpeg and UpRes it with OnOne software and call it a day. Standard car door magnets are not worth the hassle of recreating. Unless of course you're getting paid to rebuild the file.

Theft and loss rate of magnets doesn't justify perfection either. JMO

I would take the time to rebuild the name properly using all upper case Old English. It would be easy to clone out the old lettering and then drop the new name on top.

If I can't get the above to work, I think I will just call the customer and do what you are suggesting. The funny thing about this is the customer created this in Word, I didn't even know Word could do such effects lol. I HATE WORD!!

I think i got it about as good as I can get it with that OnOne program. It definitely looks better than what I started with. The customer had a 2'x6' banner made up (by someone else) from the original file and is happy with it so this one will come out much better I think. Would I put it on my vehicle, NOPE but whatever.
