3D Pointed Arrows 3D

I started with a simple exercise and played with these four objects...

...and finished my work with this image.



Like always, your critique, comments and suggestions are very welcome.

Nice exercise Chris.
I assume the background wasn't a 3D object (postcard)? I can see a gradient.
Just one issue, the shadow is to blurry since the object a quite close to the ground plane. (in my eyes)
I would try a shadow softness between 15 à 20 % in 'environment' and the same in 'infinite light'.

It's really cool and confusing at the same time

A great study, Chris, but I must confess that the first name that entered my mind when I saw it was, "Escher", LOL.

Thanks very much for your feedback.

The background and the shadows are postwork and can easily be changed.
I had a version with harder shadows like you're suggesting, though I didn't like it, it made the image even more busy as it is now.

Thanks again Eggy, from now on you are allowed to call me Mr.Soft Shadow.:lol:

Thank you both for your comments.
These Escher images are very busy and very confusing too. But they're fascinating.

:banghead:

I had to take another look to see that the upper objects weren't casting shadows on the objects below.

I'm not gonna call you 'Mr.Soft Shadow' because its one step away from 'softie'.
