Isometric 3D

Isometric 3D uses parallel projection with equal foreshortening along the three spatial axes, so objects do not shrink simply because they are farther away. Inheriting the clarity of technical drawing, it suits diagrams, game environments and product displays. Consistent scale and organized angles create a model-like view with reduced photographic depth cues.
