Bowling Ball is heading right for the sweet spot, just to the right of Pin No.01 !
OMG ! The dreaded 7 10 split !

I decided to use some extra time on this assignment.
So I worked more on lighting, materials and texture.
This is my result and it is now 2:32 a.m. so I’m going to bed

Wuhuu - done with section_03 - here’s my renders - two blender renders, and one with cycles (I learned how to make a pbr material using nodes for the cycle render through this tutorial)

Ok, there are a lot of incredible renders using different tools!! I’m a newbie in all this 3d stuff haha but I can see the potential as a research and a marketing solution in archaeology, cultural heritage, etc.
So… I made my scene render with Keyshot Pro 4 and got amazed with the solar flare texture in the bowling ball!

I found a layout template on Google:
And added it as a background image in Blender:
And ended up with:
Going to move on for now and revisit when I’m done with the course to apply new knowledge to this, maybe make it into a game with Unity.

Thanks for posting that layout, as that will really help when I get to setting up the scene. 
Heres my first attempt at this scene. I’ll probably recompose this when Im ready to texture and use cycles render. It could do with an alley…

These all look amazing. Here is my attempt, I just went close up and used a glossy material on the ball and the floor as well as a bit of motion blur to give more of a feeling of impact. Maybe I’ll come back to this and try and add in a bowling alley if I get a computer that could handle that LOD.

There are some really inspirational renders in this thread!
Thought I’d play about with some of the materials/textures as well and used Blender Render in this instance.

My final scene (top-right pane), I put the pins in one mesh after I ordered them so they’re all static.
There is a lot of talent on here, but we plebs must keep learning!
