The position of the viewer is directly in the south, in 45°angle to the ground plane. There's no distance effect. Interiors walls are an exception to this.<br> | The position of the viewer is directly in the south, in 45°angle to the ground plane. There's no distance effect.

The effect of the view angle is that lengths in north-south direction are scaled by 1/√2 (≈0.71). Likewise for all heights.<br> | The effect of the view angle is that lengths in north-south direction are scaled by 1/√2 (≈0.71). Likewise for all heights.<br> | ||

* Consider making your images resizable. While an individual image can often be made look better without the limitation of tiling parts of it at 32 pixel boundaries, resizable ones can add more variety to the maps. | * Consider making your images resizable.

[1] There are valid reasons to break most rules, but do not break a rule unless you understand the reason for it (and, by extension, the reason why it does not apply to your particular image). | [1] There are valid reasons to break most rules, but do not break a rule unless you understand the reason for it (and, by extension, the reason why it does not apply to your particular image). | ||
