I added physics and a long ramp and rolled the ball into the pins then picked the frame I liked the most.
then I spent a while fooling with nodes to get something I’m pretty happy with all things considered.
I have two different styles for the scene the first is an old sepia tone style. I wanted to invoke an old bowling alley feel with a kind of hazy daze of our lives flash back thing.
The second is a softer light with a little more color and softer shadow. for this one I was going for a Bowling alley Billboard feel, though to be honest I am not super happy with the background which seems to have lost something in post.
Let me know which you think is better =)
