- James,
- One way to do it is simply to have your normal square Icons wrap
- isometrically, that is if you take isometric icons paste a few together
- manually and then if ya cut square out of them right you'll get a sqaure
- icon that, if used to fill a section of the screen, will look isometric.
- This would work well with the normal fake isometric view that alot of
- games employ, the one that looks tilted but doesn't actually scale in
- anyway. Actually scaling things Isometrically will require alot of work
- If you want to add depth eg. Hills to the ground itself ala Populs, et
- al. that'll also take a more work. But in general for a flat
- surface you can fake isometric just by having your objects drawn
- isometrically, and then having the ground texture look slightly isometric
- Well hope that's some help.
