Placeholder Assets

I began to create placeholder assets for many of the objects I would be using in my level. These will be added in my level to represent where my final assets will be placed. As the final assets are completed I can then easily switch them out with the placeholders into my level.

Once I added the placeholders into my level I began working on one of my "hero objects". This would be an object that would really stand out and be the unique centerpieces for my environment. I made a list of the "hero objects" I will be having in my level:

Alchemy Table
Orrery
Fireplace
Stove/Oven
Chessboard
Telescope

I have structured this so that each room will have 2 Hero Objects.

The first object I began to create was my orrery. I knew I wanted it to be a very spectacular model visually, including having the planets rotating around the sun in the centre. To add some magic and fantasy to the object I want the planets to look like physical planets, and the sun will be a physical ball of fire, rotating in the centre. This means that not only will the model look unique, but it will look extremely colourful and stand out to the viewer.
