So I saw about this community project going on through a post by Hive account@voronoi.
Starting out here on steemit this looks like a good opportunity to get involved with other creators out there.
A little bit about the process...
Merged and exported the source file as Illustrator 8 for Cinema 4D compatibility.
Turned the flat design into a 3D logo.
Cloned it a few times and threw some fillet caps in.
Added some Icosahedrons and warped them.
Threw on some reflective surfaces.
Exported the PNG files, two variants with different lighting and background.
Proceeded to smash on effects, layer masks, curves and hue/saturation until satisfied.
Fine tuned the shadows, edges, colour correction and placement.
Noticed an interesting look with one of the blending modes so I developed it as an alternate version.
That's basically it, although this took way longer than I made it seem. Most of that time was just rotating through blending modes and additional textures.
