Hello All....

I've been spending what free time I have recently (mostly playing Assasins Creed) but also playing around with the idea of using PHP's GD image extentions to form some isometric maps....

I considered trying to use GD to render an iso world and preform some post-processing filters to my tiles to help smooth the tile edges....

I've got an example working online at http://rhodesy.acsv.net/isometric/gd_fade_test.php

You can add the following url params:

random=1
coords=1
dither=1


I'm wondering if I should go one step further to make them look less square...... eg

if you have the following tiles:

0 0 0
0 * *
0 * 0

then instead of having a sharp square corner, it will have a more rounded turn...

0 0 0
0 B *
0 * A <-- point A & B will have more of a slanted appearance.......


Here is my tilemap for this too...

The white tile edges are the different approaches I've tinkered with in trying to get a nice edge appearance.


(If anyone wants to create some fun tiles I'll certainly add them in )

 
I'll make something one day..
