this saved my life! I am currently studying graphic design and currently working on an isometric 3D design narrative/illustration assignment. This helped me so much to get started. the guides and grids definitely helped, its so much easier to work with. ALL TIPS WERE SUPER HELPFUL. Thank You!
This is awesome thank you, I made a reverse action to turn isometric back to flat - handy when you want to add detail but forgot to keep the untransformed original. ISO to flat LEFT Rotate 30 Shear 30 Scale H 121.95% Scale V 141.84%
These actions are pure gold! One note is that they only work as is if you have your isometric grid at the angle you set it up at. I learned that the hard way and had to do some translation for the angles I'm using.
I love this tutorial. Subscribed. Isometric design is just the surface level of it. Under the hood it's packed with tips on clever ways to use illustrator such as actions, grids/guides, bounding boxes etc.
wauw! what a helpful tutorial on isometric design. No flashy animations, just clear information and tips. Thanks for that. Just discoverd your channel and can't wait to watch the other tutorials to experiment and create some isomeric designs.
Hi Bas Your video has been incredibly useful. Maths and trigonometry not being a strong point, your action sets have made creation of isometric drawing much easier - only so much can be done by eye and guesswork so a big thanks.
Ah that's great to hear Michael :) Glad I could be of service! I will be doing some more isometric tutorials in the future so look out for those. Cheers!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! A lot of helpful tips in there that makes iso vectors a lot more fun to create. Thanks for your thoughtful sharing.
The custom action is quite clever. I am using Affinity Designer with its isometric grid features that also provide an option to transform a shape into the correct angle. I couldn't live without.
Thanks for the walkthrough. But FYI, with a little tweaking you can reduce all of these actions to 2 steps: ISO LEFT: 1. Scale 86% H, 100% V 2. Shear 30° Angle: V ISO RIGHT: 1. Scale 86% H, 100% V 2. Shear -30° Angle: V ISO TOP: 1. Rotate 45° 2. Scale 121.6% H, 70.2% V
very good introduction to isometric design! I never knew about the actions you can program. It's interesting seeing how everyone uses different methods to achieve similar results! There's a lot to learn on this program.
The 57.74% is used because that means that you would be squishing a 100x100 square into a 100x57.74 rectangle. Now, try drawing a rectangle like that, draw the diagonals of the rectangle, and measure their angle of inclination. You’ll see that it is 30 degrees exactly, which is the degree of inclination of isometric lines In other words, if you know a bit of trigonometry, you’ll see that tan(30°)≈0.57
Awesome! Thanks for watching :) You can download the actions as well, I made a new video about this recently :) ruclips.net/video/RRzuMyJQnBs/видео.html
Great video! I saw it a few months before the pandemic began. When I lost my job in Marketing, these skills got me a new job as a Production Artist, which allowed me to provide for my family during some very dark times (and which continue to serve me well). Thank you SO much! But your math appears to be a little off. When I try your downloaded actions, or recreate them off of this video, things don't line up. I've tested the three actions on three squares, then tried lining them up into a cube. The corners don't ever match up. One always sticks out a little bit more than its neighbor. Other tutorial videos use slightly different numbers and seem to yield more precise results.
Hey - thanks for the video! When I try to select a group of points with the white arrow tool (as shown at 3:33), it selects the back grid lines as well... Is there a way to turn this off?! Also, when I drag that shape to shrink it down, only the top moves, with the sides staying as they were... What am I doing wrong?! Thanks!!
8:28 How to approximate the angle we should rotate, shear, and the size to scale? Have you tried so many times first before you made the tutorial video? Or you have used to know and made it on the spot by instinct?
@@CampKeyframetutorials I'm using CS4 so it doesn't have some of the newer features. I just did it old school by merging a circle and rectangle. These things are fun. I drew a chess set years ago using the 3D tool.
Hello, good tut but snapping doesn't seem to work for me. It looks like it does but then when zooming in the points are not on the intersections or if they are, the color fill is still off and there is a gap left uncoloured. Any solutions for this? thanks
In 3:35 when u drag down the second cube its came down all, and when I try it, it only drag down the top of the cube, the "walls" of the cube stay in the same position, help me please and sorry for my english
Hey Martin. Don't apologise for your English man, I can understand you just fine! :) What I did at 3:35 is that you can see me drag over the top points of the three layers with my white arrow tool. That way I select al of the top anchor points of the walls and the roof, which I can then pull down. Maybe your walls layers were locked or something?
Hi great tut, thanks. I'm just wandering. You relocate dark window by 45 degree but after "isoright" action it has'n 30degree depth. The 3d depth depending on relocating coordinates (X,Y). How do You deal with that? thanks

What's up?
This is awesome thank you, I made a reverse action to turn isometric back to flat - handy when you want to add detail but forgot to keep the untransformed original.
ISO to flat LEFT
Rotate 30
Shear 30
Scale H 121.95%
Scale V 141.84%
I don't understand how the scaling percentages are determined
thank you very much
These actions are pure gold! One note is that they only work as is if you have your isometric grid at the angle you set it up at. I learned that the hard way and had to do some translation for the angles I'm using.
Finally I will start isometric illustrations! Thank you so much. Keep adding new videos.

been through and watched every single one of your tutorials, now i feel pretty ready for animating, thank you

Thank you for your time and sharing. Cheers from Brazil
Best tutorial I saw this year! Gonna have so much fun with this..
I keep coming back to this tutorial. Great stuff! It's clear, to the point and fast.
learned a whole drawing style in 15 minutes!
Holy shit, I've been looking for a video like this for years. Teach me sensei
Haha thanks! :) Happy to help.

Really good overview on using grids man, thanks for putting this together ✌️
Thanks! Next week I'll expand this illustration into a bigger one and in the coming weeks I'll animate it and everything :)
Never done this before, but have always been curious. Thanks for all the great tips!
Cool, thanks for watching! :)
Just came across this tutorial. Just wow. Nice tutorial and straight to the point such time saving and useful technique.
obsessed with soft design now and more obsessed with cool scales Nd stuff.
amazing tutorial I will definitely be following, would love to know how you know all the figures for actions, grid angles etc.. thankyou
Thanks for the walkthrough. But FYI, with a little tweaking you can reduce all of these actions to 2 steps:
ISO LEFT:
1. Scale 86% H, 100% V
2. Shear 30° Angle: V
ISO RIGHT:
1. Scale 86% H, 100% V
2. Shear -30° Angle: V
ISO TOP:
1. Rotate 45°
2. Scale 121.6% H, 70.2% V
Thank you for this useful tutorial

brilliant!
great !
I just wished to know from where the numbers 57.74 , 82% , 70.5% came from ? :D
The 57.74% is used because that means that you would be squishing a 100x100 square into a 100x57.74 rectangle.
Now, try drawing a rectangle like that, draw the diagonals of the rectangle, and measure their angle of inclination. You’ll see that it is 30 degrees exactly, which is the degree of inclination of isometric lines
