Chocolate Mousse!

Grey

Okay, so now that you're here you should totally look at my 'blog' thingy... it lacks Chocolate Mousse so far, but... I'm sure once someone invents a way to spread deliciousness through the internet, I'll put some there for you!

In the meantime; feel free to read my semi-crazy ramblings here:

It's actually kinda semi-orx related (mostly 'cos I use orx in most stuff I discuss there :P)

:evil:

Oh nice, you got that 3D iso map working nicely I see. Congrats!

Hi all !

Yes, that looks nice !

I'm just curious, how do you achieve 3D iso in orx ?

Grey

With difficulty (not impossible, but most definitely not recommended!) -- that latest image isn't actually 3D. I am simply using isometric sprites, and layering them on top of one another to 'fake it'

this is the sprite-sheet I used to make that image:

Ok cool, I understand !

Good job, it looks nice!

Well, isn't 3D iso actually always 2D, as far as rendering is concerned?

Grey

Sure, but then, isn't it just "isometric" rather than "3D" or "2D" isometric?

iarwain

Isometric by itself doesn't mean much, but you're right: the proper term would be "isometric projection" or "isometric perspective".

Anyway in your case it's a misnomer: you're using a dimetric projection (the one often seen in video games), not an isometric one. :P

Grey

oh pshh, semantics

I haven't actually measured the angles myself, and I'm not going to hazard a guess as to if they're 105/105/150 or 120/120/120 haha -- either way, it looks good, and does what I want (so far!)

Gosh, had my head in own stuff so long I haven't taken a look around what been going on elsewhere here. Nice 2D graphics, Grey. Very attractive rock sprites.
