[False_Prophecy]

So heres my first concept. I started a little late. But Im sure I can throw something out there by the deadline. Let me know what you think.

Looks a bit like a planet crashing into a lake of gold
Interesting beginning, but to early for me to say more atm, so i'm waiting for more

I'm not shure, if i like the material of the sphere.
What about some more crystal like?

[False_Prophecy]

I thought about making the "water" of the "planet" a glass or crystal, but i wasnt sure, so i made it gold with an SFM-like red for the "land". But i will mess around with it a bit and see what i can come up with.

Interesting

I think "crystal" water with "gold" land probably would look quite cool

Update!!!

Okay, so im not very good with materials I tried to make a crystal looking surface and it turned out horrible. So in stead i went with a frosted glass kinda look. I think it might be a little TOO transparent so i might have to change that. Anyways, let me know what you think.

ok, so what about this? i tried to give the pic a sepia or antique kinda look. i think that it would need to be more "grain" like though. But let me know what you think. Better or worse.

The sepia tone is quite a good idea, but it kind of detracts from the gold look of the materials.

And as for the gold, if you want a really shiny gold like in my award, find a sky ball image on the net, make it a yellow tone and put it in the materials "Environment" channel, it'll look awesome on the metaballs. Just out of curiosity, how did you make the splash?

Actually now that I come to think of it, I found an ice shader pack for C4D on the net a little while ago that might look really cool as crystal, although I think the land and the water would have to be two seperate objects. But I can send it to you if you want to have a look.

another update

so i turned down the sepia quite a lot but its still there a little bit, let me know if i should ramp it up some more. I also tweaked the gold material a bit. Still dont know if it looks like a legitimate material. If you have any tips let me know bout that too.

As for your question Pyrocitor, I used the program Real Flow 4 to do the splash.The rest of it was modeled and textured with Cinema 4D.
