A simple experiment with some mixed and matched surfaces with overblown
caustics. As usual, not exactly what I intended, but there are some nice
color variations in the caustics at least...

The right foreground shape seems to have created the most dramatic ones.
I would suggest concentrating on just one or two shapes, perhaps arrayed
in a pattern. The texture on the ground plane is nice but I don't think
it is helping this picture. What if it was applied to tiles and the
tiles form the ground plane?
I keep picturing the foremost shape arranged on a shiny black surface
with maybe a lower camera angle for some reason.

Hmm - could be.

Good idea - I didn't do much more complicated than the admittedly boring
plane, since I wanted to focus on the caustics. But I do think tiles would
have looked nicer as well.

Even that was a compromise, I admit. I dad to wriggle and fiddle to fit all
the objects in the chosen field of view angle.
But thanks for looking! I'll see if I can rework what I have into something
a bit more pleasing...
