My current game needs a decent isometric view, but i think it looks a little wierd, this could be perhaps becouse of the fov? if anyone knows the ideal number for an isometric fov, please tell me!

note:

current camera:

rotated x=45 y=45 z=0

It all depends on the programmers perspective of the game. Write in controls such as
if key = 1 then incriment fov
if key = 2 then decriment fov

print out fov

then mess with it until it looks nice.

The codeBase has a simple isometric camera function. That example doesn't change the FOV. See http://darkbasicpro.thegamecreators.com/?m=codebase_view&i=17ae8cd1251dfe592015c55e0ad5687c

Isn't Isometric at 30 degrees not 45? Thats what I was taught in my Technical Drawing lessons (allbeit 8 years ago.. God I feel old.. )

as far as i know, isometric can be a wide range of angles, is not just one set angle.

It's impossible to do isometric with 3D.

You need to do it with sprites else objects will get smaller if they're further away from the camera (this happens in real life, but not in isometric)
