  • Isometric similar 3D environment?

    Posted by Bart Stevens on February 25, 2026 at 4:28 pm

    I have a graphic element that is set up in a grid that is very similar to isometric angles, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to set up a 3D environment in C4D and After Effects that can work with it.

    I know a true isometric environment has angles of 30 degrees. This is similar, but the angles are at 26.2 degrees.

    I have been able to set up an environment for a traditional 30-degree iso with a camera that has an exaggerated zoom and rotation settings of x -90, y-0, z -40.6105.

    I’m just wondering if there might be an equivalent for the slightly skewed angles of 26.2?

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Stevens,

    If I understand the issues correctly, I think you could accomplish this using a parallel-projection camera with the “Align Workplane to Selection” tool. I’ve attempted to explain the method in the screen recording attached below; I hope this is helpful.

    You’re very welcome, Stevens! Did that work for you, or rather, is that what you were looking for?
