Who doesn’t know (and like) isometric graphics ?
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 ?
New feature in V1.5
While creating some faked isometry with IsomaticFX by clicking on its “2D Left isometry“, “2D Right isometry” or “2D Top isometry” buttons, some new expressions are now applied to the 2D layer’s transform position, that are linked to 3 useful sliders in the Effects panel (one slider per axis, called respectively “X Movement”, “Y Movement” and “Z Movement”, for each 2D layer).
These 3 sliders will then allow you to easily animate the movement of your 2D layers while constraining them along isometric axis, like if they were in a real 3D isometric space, which is way more convenient to animate your 2D isometric design, than animating their position manually !
Here are the two different modes in actions (please note that the vertical layout you see below doesn’t exist ; the buttons will only be aligned horizontally) :
- 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.
- 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.
Note that you can only create one Grid layer by composition.
