Convert a Metallic

Convert a metallic, industrial gear into a soft, three-dimensional gelatinous sphere. Its surface should be entirely enveloped by a shiny, transparent slime-like coating, featuring delicate ripples and intricate light refractions that create a liquid-like effect. The sphere should gracefully hover in a neutral space with a light gray background, emitting a subtle luminescent glow. The visual tone should be futuristic, tactile, and dreamlike, inspiring a sense of intrigue and amazement. Use studio lighting with ultra-high-resolution rendering.
