All the pins are set and the alley is ready for use. Also, the lanes have been completely polished, to a high mirror-like shine.\ \ DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:\ \ For the first time, I thought of doing something a little more dow to earth. I have tried to create renderings of a bowling alley before, but it never quite worked. After I went to one though, I thought I would try again, and it also gave me an idea for this round.\ \ THis is the first time I went and used a lot of csg. Most other images I make only have csg here and there. Everything is boxes with cylinder and sphere cutouts. The polish is just clever use of phongs and reflection. Also, the lighting caused the one hour render, and I thought it would be best. If anyone can give me ways to improve this, I will gladly take them. I spent the longest time on this submission, nearly six weeks, and I was submitting it with five days left. Good luck to everyone else\ }
