Even if the objects intersect unrealistically, this gives more creative freedom. At the same time, I like the opportunity to put one object on top of another, which results in a \"two floors\".\n![\u041f\u0435\u0441\u043e\u0447\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0437\u0430\u043c\u043e\u043a.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/2f8\/c3\/z\/52718.jpg)\n\nI like that the wand seems to have been brought by the sea, it needs to be picked up and dragged to the castle.
