DESCRIPTION
Realistic Bowling Pins – Low Poly Game Asset

This highly realistic Bowling Pins 3D Model is a premium, production-ready asset created in Blender v3.5.1 and rendered using the Cycles engine to achieve a clean, polished, and photorealistic finish. It accurately replicates the shape, curvature, material sheen, and proportions of real bowling pins, making it ideal for any digital or physical production pipeline. Whether you're building a bowling game, creating a simulation, rendering a commercial animation, or visualizing a physical prop for 3D printing, this model offers high flexibility, fast performance, and visual fidelity.

Designed for both real-time and offline rendering, the model follows quad-based topology with optimized polycount, ensuring compatibility with mobile games, VR simulations, cinematic pipelines, and web-based engines. No cleanup is required—just import and drop it into your scene. Its clean geometry and procedural shaders make it easy to customize or extend depending on your project's needs.

Material & Shader Setup:

The asset uses a fully procedural node-based shading system built within Blender’s Cycles engine. No external texture maps are required. The material system includes customizable controls for surface roughness, gloss, and base color variations. This enables you to adapt the asset to various lighting conditions or stylistic requirements without additional maps.

The material replicates the look of polished plastic with twin red bands on the neck—mimicking regulation bowling pins. This ensures the asset maintains a sense of authenticity while remaining light and efficient for rendering.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
