Leading up to transferring our project onto Maya, I decided to try and prepare a test render and design of the school sports hall on Maya, to see how it might turn out in a 3D layout and start thinking about different ways we could improve it. Initially I wanted to have the images be projected onto the 3 image planes and rendered from there however I found that they didn't show up in the render view so I had to thin and stretch out four cubes and project the wall designs on the Uv's, which I felt has done a good job at creating the set like appearance we are going for.

I also wanted to try and see how the props, such as the basketball hoop and the mat would look and so far I am also happy with the effect they are creating within the set, and I think it helps to amplify the world we are trying to project, which is also why I also decided to make the set walls look so scruffy and rough, as in the universe we wanted the set to be designed by the children, so I made sure to find a brush that gave the textural appearance of a real world paint brush and experiment with making hand prints. The hand prints I feel give off the effect i'm looking for, although I might change the red square in the middle as I am worried, combined with the hand prints it makes the back wall look like a murder scene.
