Solar System

A simple model of our solar system. This was made as an introductory project in game development for MSU's online courseware. Beyond what was specified in said courseware, I've added/changed the following elements:

- Added the 7 remaining planets in our system. Each of which bears its respective material. The relative size of the planets is somewhat preserved, although the very large Jupiter and Saturn were scaled down so as to remain smaller than the already scaled-down sun. Relative orbital speed is preserved for the inner planets, I've sped the orbital speed of the outer four by ~50%. Distance between the planets is unrealistic.

- Added floating nameplates above each planet.

- Added rings to Saturn so as to play with transparency and rotation.

- Slowed the comet spawn-timer from 5 to 10 seconds.

- Increased the FOV of both the main and mini-map cameras so as to better capture all 8 planets.
