Let's start at the start. Maneuver your viewpoint in the Render window to focus on the first room we built. Logically, we'll assume that the bandits use this room as a guard post, as well as a dumping place for some of their trash. Drag some broken crates and furniture out into the render window and arrange them using the controls we learned earlier. Turn snapping off to fine-tune your placement. You can also adjust your rotation and movement speeds in the preferences tab we saw earlier, though this is only neccessary for the finest of adjustments. | Let's start at the start.

This is a good density of clutter. Think of how the player's eye will move around the space as they enter - which will be affected by things such as lighting, enemies, and loot placement, which we'll get to soon. The table is the most interesting thing here, and it guides the player's attention to the left, which is also the direction of the only exit deeper in the dungeon. | This is a good density of clutter.
