Isometric Style

Readable dioramas. True iso framing. Tile-aware assets.

When to Use

  • Strategy / sim / city-builder assets
  • Isometric diorama renders
  • Orthographic hero presentations

Camera Setup

Camera type: Orthographic
Rotation: typically 54.736° / 30° patterns (true iso) OR project-specific dimetric
Scale: frame subject with padding for UI
CAM_Iso_[Shot]

Match project’s exact iso angles — do not invent per asset.

Asset Rules

  1. Readable from iso angle first — Not perspective hero camera
  2. Tile footprint — Document cell size (e.g. 1×1, 2×2)
  3. Height clarity — Vertical read without confusion
  4. Edge contrast — Separate from ground plane
  5. LOD for dense maps — Far tiles cheaper

Modeling

  • Avoid detail only visible from ground FPS view
  • Strong top/side planes
  • Anchor pivot to tile corner or center per kit standard

Presentation

  • Soft key + cool fill common for dioramas
  • Slight AO / ground shadow for lift
  • Optional compositing grade for portfolio

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Lock camera angle for the set
  • Document tile size and pivot rule
  • Check readability at game ortho scale

MUST NOT DO

  • Detail undersides invisible in iso
  • Mix perspective cameras into iso kits without reason
