I had an idea for the "Rock on the Water" contest that I just couldn't figure out how to do in time.

The idea was to make the rock into an asteroid impact scene. I figured I'd use Rey's ripple'd effect tut to create the look of a shock wave. But it also needs some "splashing" dirt and debris for the impact as well. Initial thought was to use externals of things like mining facility explosions. Then I hit on the idea of waves/water crashing on rock and adjusting the color to match dirt.

Anyway I obviously didn't have time to do the chop but I'd love to know how each of you would do the scene. What details would you add? What techniques would you use?

Post 'em here and teach the creatively-challenged!

Are you sure you wouldn't want to do a turtle Tofu? Maybe an asteroid hitting the turtle...and it could hide in it's shell as the debri flew into the water! I´ve been wracking my brains out for an hour on tomorrow's entry and am going for a beer!Really though seeing that rock blowed into a quizillion pieces would be a buzz...

I really wanna see what Rey, vokaris, claf, anfa, supa, arcaico, et al have to contribute to this idea.

Man I hope this quietness is just a side effect of everyone being busy during the holiday season.
