Isometric Maps

[Gamerprinter]

Most of us who dabble with Isometric mapping use a 3D app with an Isometric camera to accomplish our needs.

Yeah you really need your objects in 3D and view them at 30 degrees of tilt. You need to set the camera to have extreme telephoto lens and position it a long way back or if possible an iso/ortho type setting. Usually in games all the buildings are on a grid and each building can use up one or more of them.

There was a link to a web page that allowed you to put buildings together in this style. It was pretty good but I cant remember the link now.

Some of the tokens in CC3 seem to take on this style too.
