Trying to make map tiles

I have looked through the sticky notes to see if I have missed anything, but I don't seem to see anything about it.

I want to make some new tiles using blender to 3d model the object, and then turn it into a sprite. The two things I want to know are :-

- What angle is the xenonauts isometric camera set to?

- What is the pixel count of an individual tile

Going to answer you here rather than on the other thread to keep the threads a bit tidier.

In terms of the size of the tiles, the images for the ground tiles (which fit exactly within one map-tile) are 96x48 if that's useful? Otherwise, I don't know.

No idea about the camera angle.

Yea I noticed in the files 96x48 is one of the densities used, but for some tiles it didn't even fill that so it's some other range, unless I am missing something

Also thanks thixotrop, I left him a message, to see how he did it

EDIT :- Worked out how to do it, did some online research about isometric.

Not great, but it was just a test to see if I was doing it right :)

Spent some time on making a simple door, The perspective to me looks just like the one in xenonauts, followed a guide on isometric angles etc.

Here's a couple pictures. The shading and style doesn't exactly match xenonauts, but that will come with time (hopefully)
