Isometric art

[The_Sloth_Sleeps]

I see a couple people asking about Isometric art, and not that much helpful information about it. I am not an artist but I enjoy drawing isometric art and like to share my exploration.

480p quality and 20 minutes for something that can be explained in 2.
I guess beggars aren't choosers, so if someone really needs this, it'll be helpful.

Looks more like dimetric, to be honest.

When people say "isometric", most of the time they mean "axonometric".

Thank goodness this can be applied to all isometric projections when drawing. The skew is slightly different...doesn't matter!

Finishing the main part of the stave church. It needs maybe a tower...

How would you proceed...???

YES! I have some cutting edge techniques (from 1995) to create towers and these sorts of things.

I have no use for this. But it is very cozy.

I know its gonna be considered taboo but I've been experimenting with a low poly 3D model and using post processing to achieve that classic retro 90s look to the artwork for a pet project by using simple texture maps and then just positioning my camera in a Isometric position within the 3D world space.

That said its nice to see some guys and girls like doing it more old school and I agree the video is super cozy

I haven't used this yet but it looks awesome if you have Asprite.

Does anyone have any experience making isometric trees and vegetation. I was looking at some 3D prerendered trees and grass, which I actually liked the look of and it sort of fit.

I have no expertise in Bellender to setup a camera and take photos for sprites.

Download Blender. Open/Import the model. Add a light. Add a camera. Select the camera in the outliner hierarchy. Change Lens Type from Perspective to Orthographic in Properties. Hit numpad 5 for orthographic view. Use the numpad directionals to adjust view to your liking. Hit Ctrl+Alt+Numpad 0 to align camera to view. Hit F12 to render an image.

Go to Render > Film and toggle Transparent if you want background culling. Make sure to save to an RGBA png and not an RGB or you lose the transparency.

For Blender there are also several tree generators. The add-on Sapling is free and already included into Blender (you just jeed to activate it). Then slap some some colors/textures on the generated tree and setup camera and render like MF explained it above this post. It's maybe 3 to 5 minutes of work until you have your tree.

There are also paid add-ons that generate trees but Sapling is all you need as a beginner.
