Title: Isometric View
Post by: kappa on October 29, 2009, 10:56:53 pm

I'm looking at trying to get an isometric view, like in those old 2d games. Just wondering if its possible create such a view with jPCT?

Its a type of parallel rendering. With jPCT's the normal camera objects further away appear small and the closer objects appear bigger, with isometric it'll all be the same size.

thanks

kappa.

Unfortunately, there is no support for a real isometric view in jPCT. Some people tried to mimic it by moving the camera further away and reducing the fov in addition, but that will cause accuracy issues sooner or later and i'm not sure how successful this actually was.
