It works by using its orthographic projection, but directly using the up, right, and direction keywords instead of the more common look_at. This is perhaps not the answer you want to hear, but POV-Ray can render in this projection without any tricks or cheats. Update: Using orthographic camera set as shown achieves something approximating the original tile art, but needs to be skewed back into correct square proportions (trying to unskew it in Photoshop resulted in a blurry mess) I am not opposed to exporting models into Blender for rendering, if there is a better solution in that application In isometric and orthographic mode, the buildings flatten out and show no depth In strict perspective mode, perspective lines converge to the center. I should be able to draw any tile and get consistent, uniform render results. The big problem with this approach is that different tiles have different resolutions and keeping everything proportional to one another using a "eyeball it until the angles look right" approach is too hard to maintain consistency from image to image. I feel there must be some better way to achieve what I'm looking for. Rendering this results in a GIANT image with my graphic occupying a tiny portion of the upper corner, and in the spirit of pixel-perfection this is only approximating the perspective of the original artwork. Isometric and orthographic resist my attempts to make them mimic the source perspective. Then, when it comes time to render, I position the voxel space with perspective camera positioned around x:87 y:80 z:105. The best I've been able to do is create the voxel object at the same "resolution" as the original bitmaps. And, more importantly, I'm unclear how to achieve it in MagicaVoxel with ease. I'm not sure what to call this perspective. The original graphics have a kind of overhead view, but it isn't quite isometric. However, I'm having trouble understanding exactly what I'm building. I'm building the original SimCity (open-sourced) icons in MagicaVoxel such that rendering them closely resembles the original.
