Changing the angle of view like that doesn't give a true isometric view, it gives you a perspective view from an angle that makes it sort-of isometric looking.
To do true isometric view, where the x and y world axes appear to be at 30 degrees to the z axis requires the engine to do the transform from the world space to the camera space in a different way. The closest example is the way that the engine renders the hltv overviews, instead of having a perpective view, it produces a flat plan view. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony "omega" Sergi Sent: 17 October 2003 06:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Isometric View You can actually, pretty much the way you did commander mode in NS, except instead of looking totally flat; change one of the angles. -omega http://www.frontline2.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Cleveland Sent: October 17, 2003 1:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Isometric View Last I knew, this wasn't possible. I heard that VALVe was possibly going to open up the view transform, but haven't done so yet. I can't imagine how you could do this in the current SDK, but I'm sure there are way more clever people here then I. -Charlie -- Charlie Cleveland Game programmer and designer http://www.natural-selection.org http://overmind.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathas Costa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[hlcoders]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 8:03 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Isometric View > Hey everyone, > > Can anyone help me with an "isometric view" article?
