Sooo… a new day, a new motivation
I put together a scene of 10 pins, the ball and tried to build something around it, that looks a bit like a real bowling lane (did I mention, that Bowling is “my sports”? Played League a long time…)
That’s the scene…
Rendered with eevee there’s not much voodoo…
Then with cycles but no outer side-lights…
…and finally with an added light source to the right…
