LEGO Bowling Lanes (3D Render)

[Ryan_T]

I've been bowling a lot recently.. And for some reason decided to throw some lanes together in LEGO. While I haven't touched actual bricks in quite a long time, mainly because I don't have the collection to make nice things. I went to LeoCAD. I originally had 12 lanes up in LeoCAD.. But importing that into Cinema4D proved to be tough.. So I settled for 3 lanes, and even that was almost too much for C4D to handle.. I noticed that, unlike real life, the tiles edges didn't quite show up as nicely either. (or at all for that matter..) So I had to go through some settings to find something that looked... somewhat.. okay.. I didn't really want to go around to each tile to add a small bevel to each edge to make it look a bit more realistic.. But.. This is what I came up with..

The lanes are too wide. The ball returns are in the wrong places. And I'm pretty sure the bowling balls are not to scale.. The lighting is a bit iffy and the walls are plain.. But. with the hours i spent working on it. I figured I'd show it off anyway.. So, I hope you like it.

I would also like to take this time to say HELLO! After a very long time of not posting or uploading MOCs on Eurobricks. It must be around a year or 2 since I have posted here. This post isn't marking my return, or saying I'll have more things to upload.. But I do miss this place and the people here.
