  • I think i'm missing something . . aren't all computer images made of pixels? btw, that second link *may* be NSFW for some ppl . .
  • I love this stuff! Cheers. I was gonna post something about it today.
  • You may enjoy these isometric pictures as well, which are all of historical events, except the silly Sound of Music one.
  • i thought isometric had to do with exercises that i hate because they're so hard.
  • LoopyG, they're about half real, half movies. There's a Godfather 2 one, a 12 Angry Men one, and a couple others.
  • Those are great. When I saw the fourth link, I half-expected a four-man team from "Syndicate" to come in, guns blazing, mowing down agents from enemy corporations.
  • but why are they isometric? i don't get it. i am isometrically challenged, obviously.

  • ISOMETRIC: DEFINITION FOR YOU PEOPLE 1. A form of perspective where paralell lines do not converge. There are no vanishing points. It's as if you're looking through a lens with an enormous focal length. Things do not get smaller as they move away. Games like Warcraft use isometric perspective. 2. You know prints in the manner of hokusais/hiroshige/others in the east mainly? Those exhibiting any perspective (interiors mainly) almost exclusively use isometric perspective. It has a weird effect of simultaneous distance and intimacy. It is unrealistic from a visual standpoint but realistic from a cognitive one, since line segments of equal length are an equal length on the picture plane no matter where they are in space.
  • thanks to you, actual, i am no longer isometrically challenged! *hands banana to new isometric pal!*
