im aware there is a scene for the solar system that was used for the videos but i was wondering if i could make my own (if possible) Thanks in advance!

Yes, of course it is possible. The most straightforward way to do it would be to duplicate existing celestial bodies and alter their settings: the body's gameobject deals with gravity stuff and its radius, mesh holder deals with shape and shading. To edit the planet's shape and shading, I recommend creating new planet settings rather than editing existing: Right Click/Create/Celestial Body and then there's a zoo of options (start with Settings Holder, you'll finish eventually by creating and referencing other assets). You can also change scene to Planet, which makes this process a lot easier.

I created a celestial body and chose settings holder now what do I do
