TBGL sample - Isometric map

[Michael Hartlef]

Hi folks,

here is a sample on how to load isometric tiles and render them manually in a very simple and manual way.
The map uses 3 tiles and is build randomly.

Mike, that looks fantastic!

[Michael Hartlef]

Thanks, I'll see that I come up with mouse to map informations too!

That would be nice,

maybe for future higher level isometric system the textures could have the block vertically centered too.

Which software did you used for the render?

[Michael Hartlef]

I used Blender for it. The reason why there is only the bottom used is that I wanted to have space for higher structures in it. But that is a minimal factor the tile size really depends on what kind of game you want to create. Havin the tile centered with space below AND above wouldn't make much sence imho.

I see,

now I understand the placement, thanks :)
