This famous kind of perspective, recognizable by its absence of vanishing point (lines appear parallel to each other), can be seen almost everywhere.
Even if you think it’s just one more trendy style, you might be right, but, as a motion designer, you just can’t ignore this pretty stylish and efficient style !
Okay but… How could you achieve this “isometric” look within your favorite animation software ?
Isomatic FX comes with a little yet efficient UI, that let’s you toggle from a “2D” mode to a “3D” mode (just click on the corresponding button).
The 2D mode’s tools will allow you to fake isometric style on any kind of 2D layer (work with solids, precompositions, footages, text layers and shape layers), while the 3D mode’s tools are made to be used with real 3D layers (with a real 3D camera that mimics almost perfectly a true isometric camera).
- 2D Left isometry (blue icon)
One click on it turns your selected layers in a left isometric style ;
Two clicks on it removes the isometry from these same layers. - 2D Right isometry (red icon)
One click on it turns your selected layers in a right isometric style ;
Two clicks on it removes the isometry from these same layers. - 2D Top isometry (green icon)
One click on it turns your selected layers in a top isometric style ;
Two clicks on it removes the isometry from these same layers ;
ALT + Click on it and it will change the top orientation (can be
changed anytime with the “Flip direction” checkbox created in
the selected layers’ effects. - 2D isometric grid
Creates a customizable isometric grid as a guide layer.
You can change its color and thickness at the top of After Effects
layout, and increase or decrease the grid size and subdivisions
in the effects panel.
Note that you can only create one Grid layer by composition.
| The 3D mode’s toolsFrom top to bottom : - 3D isometric Camera
Creates an almost perfect isometric camera (a 100% real one
can’t be achieved within AfterEffects, but the difference isn’t
noticable at all) ;
Note that you can only create one iso Camera by composition. - Rotates laterally in 3D
Each click on it rotates your selected layers (they have to be 3D)
by 90° increments around their Y axis ;
ALT + Click on it rotates them in the other direction. - Rotates vertically in 3D
Each click on it rotates your selected layers (they have to be 3D)
by 90° increments around their X axis ;
ALT + Click on it rotates them in the other direction ;
SHIFT + Click on it rotates them around their Z axis. - 3D ground grid
Creates a simple 3D solid squared layer, with a “Grid” effect
applied to it, to help you define the “floor plane” of your scene.
