Isometric Camera

[omid78]

Could we get a camera view that is isometric, as in no perspective?

If we could just set the camera angles in with orthographic projection enabled, that would allow _any_ type of isometric view that the user wants.

True! We definitely want to support that.

That's a really cool idea.

Will there be an option to not display walls that face the camera? Or is there maybe already an a way to selectively eliminate/hide certain walls from generated rooms?

An isometric view often runs into the problem that things close to a wall end up being hidden.

It's not possible yet, but there will be a First-Person-view later on. Maybe that is an option for a camera update, too.
Isometric support is asked every now and then, so the devs are aware of it and will look into possibility of a better support of it (but no promises from my side :))

If we can take multiple export/screenshots from the same angled orthographic camera perspective... then one could just take several picture, with the only difference being removed walls. And then with some fairly simple Photoshop trickery, one could create "overhead" tiles that are transparent and represent the "near side" walls. That way tokens can go "behind" the walls, etc. I feel like this would be simple to implement if we just allow the camera location/angle to be adjust when in ortho-mode.

Any update on this?

The devs haven't rescheduled the roadmap yet.
