3d isometric view

by Tim Wiese · in Technical Issues · 04/05/2006 (12:32 pm) · 3 replies

Okay i have done a basic search and couldnt really get a clear anwser. im wondering if i can get an isometric view using the 3d torque engine. i know that camera position can be changed, but what about camera angle? can i point the camera down towards a point at a certain angle? I want there to be two main views for my game. 3d isometric but when inside buildings...i want there to be a first person view. or behind the back. either way i need to find a way to get the isometric 3d view. let me know how to do it and if it can be done, any help is greatly appreciated!!




thanks guys

Yes, it's possible, but you will have to work on getting it right.

Your best starting point would be the advanced camera resource.

Like Scott said, look at the Advanced Camera resource > www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=5471

I've used it to create a camera similar to the one in Dungeon Siege, with tilting, rotation, etc.
