4. This final stage now adds a bevel and is optional. right click on the tunnel layer. Then select "blending options". Tick the box next to bevel emboss and then tick the box next to contour.

Finished. To add text that looks like it is being sucked into the tunnel you can run the polar coordinates over the text.
