Isometric cameras to download (Modeler side)

Post by Emmanuel »

I just finished a project to render in isometric style.
That's the first time is do an illustration in isometric/toon style and I like it a lot. TrueSpace is great at such things.

An isometric camera is available in Workspace side, but there is none in Modeler.

I wish I could build a simple tsx to generate isometric cameras and set their size, location, switch the views, etc... but my skills in programming are not sufficient... So I simply created 4 cameras to load in my Modeler scene.

You can download this new Objects Library for Modeler to let you add isometric cameras in your scenes :
Camera ISO.obl.zip

To install, just unzip the Camera_ISO.obl folder into your trueSpace76/tS/Library directory.
Then in trueSpace, Modeler side, open the Object Library (that's the orange armchair icon), right-clic in the library, in its context menu, choose Load... and pick up the Camera Iso one.

I've made this icon in 2007 yes ; that was a project but I don't think I ever created the tsx you are showing. Perhaps I've sent the PNG to someone who did it... sorry I don't remember. My memory is faulty.

Does this tSX actually works ?

Sure. Modeler's snapping and collision tools, plus the grid and a few other tools (like RotateLeft.tsx & RotateRight.tsx, and also the usefull V2M.tsx among others), are turning iso illustration into a child play.

The tsx creates one camera view., it looked like you were involved in it.
I'm looking at the maya box widget to see how easy it would be to implement . I find the location move might be the hard part..size should be fine with scroll wheel.

theoretically if you make normal camera and set it far far away and zoom it all the way, the view will look very isometric... could be close to 100% isometric. Or you can glue entire scene and rotate it to render it with side (or top) view camera. It doent matter if you move camera or everything else.
