About isometric-style
isometric-style is a creative skill for making readable isometric dioramas and tile-aware assets. It covers camera, modeling, and presentation rules for consistent sets viewed at the intended orthographic angle.
Key features
- 01Orthographic isometric camera setup
- 02Tile footprint and pivot rules
- 03Height and edge readability guidance
- 04LOD guidance for dense maps
- 05Diorama lighting and presentation
Use cases
- 01Creating assets for strategy and city-builder games
- 02Rendering isometric dioramas
- 03Presenting hero assets with orthographic cameras

Details
From the project READMEIsometric 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
- Readable from iso angle first — Not perspective hero camera
- Tile footprint — Document cell size (e.g. 1×1, 2×2)
- Height clarity — Vertical read without confusion
- Edge contrast — Separate from ground plane
- 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

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
