=> paint 'high' areas of your texture with bright color (on new layer!)
(The Darkest color = black = absolutely depth)
(The Brightest color = white = absolutely high)
...:: Make It a gaussian blur a little ::...
SAVE IT IN 'TGA' format!

6)Open It in 'TGAtoDOT3.exe' ! ( 48 KB)

7)Open VTF TOOL (Source SDK )
8)Make VTF!
9)open Notepad and put down following code :

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "Your_Folder/Your_VTF"
"$bumpmap" "Your_Folder/Your_VTF_normal"
"$surfaceprop" "METAL"
"%keywords" "Your_Texture"
//"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" 1
//"$envmapcontrast" 1
//"$envmapsaturation" 1
//"$envmaptint" "[ .80 .80 .80 ]"
//"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
}

P.S.: Your_Folder/Your_VTF = location of your texture (Your_VTF.vtf)
"$surfaceprop" "METAL" = type of surface for your Texture (In fact There are loads of types!!!)
