Bowling Animation Physics

Hello, here is my bowling animation I switched over to Evee from Cycles to make sure I understand everything.

I worked out a lot of issues, except my pin’s want to defy gravity and stay up all the time. Not sure I understand it.

I also ended up baking the entire rigid body to keyframes under the object menu since it was being weird when it came to render time as my ball kept disappearing once the animation keyframes stopped and the physics took over.

–EDIT–

Figured out the pins, I didn’t follow closely and the origin wasn’t set to center of volume.

Well done, it has come up several times this issue. You are not alone in having pins that stay up!

I like your details on the ball rolling.
Starts slowly then speeds up … really nice touch.
Glad you’ve found the problem of the pins.
It’s nice that Blender follows physics.
low gravity point, wiggling pins …
