Part 01 - Basics of Isometric workflow

Easy grids for Photoshop and Illustrator: riaanmarais.gumroad.com/l/tosxpk
In part one, I will show you how to start the process of creating an isometric level. We will create the building blocks for a castle. I will show you how to set your camera in blender for quick and easy reference buildings which we will use to trace over in Photoshop.
The Blender camera needs to be set to orthographic.
Set the camera's transform rotations to:
X - 60 degrees
Y - 0 degrees
Z - 45 degrees
I took a screenshot of the scene in Blender, but you can export a render.
Then I show you how to use the 3D image to draw your isometric assets.
In upcoming tutorials, we will add more building assets and other objects like carts, benches and whatever was used in medieval times.

Thank you!

[@iannnavas]

Awesome video! I liked it so much! Can you make a video about how to use lights/illumination on Blender? When I'm confused about how to paint light and shadow in digital painting on Photoshop, Blender can help with that by modeling there and adding light.

[@RiaanMarais]

I am glad you like the video.
Sure, no problem. I will create a video explaining how to illuminate a scene in Blender.
I will post the link here once it is done.
