Create IsoCam Blender script

[zc456]

Finally. I think this is something all of us Blender users could use. Easier then the manual adjustment I tried.

Create Isocam creates an orthographic camera with which you can render isometric views. You can choose between three camera setups.
- A camera setup for true mathematical isometric
- A camera setup with a view that is needed to render traditional isometric graphics for a 2D game with a ratio of 2 to 1
- A camera setup to render a special game iso format with a ratio of 4 to 3

Sims Camera v2, based on this camera script

Thanks for the link, this will def come in handy.
Now we need to find one for 3dsmax 2017..

Only problem is we need an exact z-buffer.

It's a start. I'll improve on it later. Gonna be vacationing with family for a few weeks.

Is there a way to make the depth map directly from there? cause i find it a cringe to do it manually

A simple addon is all it would need. Just a matter of someone creating it.

I find creating the depth map very hard so i hope someone will make it

Using the camera script is easier than expected even for new comers to blender and gives amazing results!
Here's one of my first tries while experimenting with it. They only thing missing is a z buffer generator.

Look how cute this sims 4 sofa looks!

I think the scale is also wrong, and it's not splitting multitile objects. I can try modify the script myself in future, but I'm no blender plugin wizard.

As for the scale, on blender u can stretch 3d objects so that is not a problem for big objects like a sofa, it will look legit anyway, the problem is to get a sort of Grid that respects the sims online/the sims 1 tiles so you can get an idea of what you are doing

Scale is very important to get right, and so is z-scale.

Oh true

Coming soon: official FSO sprite exporter for blender:

Generates real z-buffers, 4 directions, multitile clipping. Working on a script to make multitile object render possible.
