thanks Dan that helped alot but im still haveing problems makeing it 3d can any one help?

What are you trying to get it to do?
What I'd do is make the 3d shape (Doc's lighting effect tutorial is good for this - Here's the link), and make it a medium grey color. Then define the marble texture as a patern, and create a new layer above the one with the 3d shape in it. Then fill the new layer with the patern, and set the layer to overlay, or soft/hard light. Whatever looks right.
