Genre: Strategy / Sim

Iconic buildings. Tile clarity. Unit read at camera distance. Sim props tell systems.

Recipe

Tile-clear iconic view: 2:1 dimetric orthographic camera, 1 m or 2 m tiles, bright even light, strong silhouettes readable at 64 px.

1. Camera with iso_camera.py: projection dimetric_2_1, pixel_tile 64. For a perspective RTS camera with a given pitch, use camera-cinematography/scripts/camera_rig.py with elevation_deg = the pitch below the horizon (55 is typical, 50-65 range) and lens_mm 35; Blender's rotation_euler.x is 90 minus that pitch, so don't set it to the pitch itself.
2. Even light with light_rig.py preset overcast.
3. Stylised color-block materials with toon_material.py (bands 3, outline 0.02) for buildings/units.
4. Populate props with scatter_props.py (count 12, clusters 4).
5. Optional bake LOD chain: generate_lods.py (ratios [0.5, 0.25]) for unit meshes.
