I'm doing a project that consist on a isometric world. A character will
"walk"
in that world, so, maybe, I've the same problem as Juan. My question is: how
is that character modeled, i mean, i can do it in 3dstudiomax and render it,
but is the best option? I will have lots of images of that character and
that couldn't be right. I also want to know how i can move it correctly to
the point I want. I've been testing and it doesn't work properly. I also
want to change the color of some part of the character dinamically so...Can
someone help??? For me is important the isometric view.
TIA.

Why "Yes there is!"
There are literally countless ways to do this. I put together an engine
that does this in a "maze like" setting in my article for DOUG (which I
think is the one you are referring to below, thanks Karina and others for
the pulg") entitled Director Based LIngo Mazes: The Director Dungeon
Crawl. Doesn't use any math beyond some hard-coded quadding numbers and
adding and subtracting one's and zeroes from positional elements. It is a
little tricky with the sprite ordering for the ilusion though, you can get
the source and stuff at DOUG.
If you were looking for a more intricate solution I am slowly preparing an
isometric scrolling engine (ala Diablo II) for public consumtion, if thats
more of what your thinking. The iso perspective is semi-3D, there is a
recent DOUG article on those as well (not mine, just too avoid confusion).
And besides, what you got against 3D engines ? <grin>
