Mar 14, 2013 at 18:16 comment added UberLambda Yes, I wasn't really clear when i created this question
Mar 14, 2013 at 16:19 comment added Benjamin Danger Johnson Ah, I think I see my confusion, I thought you wanted the camera to go up and down like you were looking at a table top game (which is pretty cool in my opinion) but you wanted an isometric view like in the old Age of Empires and Starcraft games. Yeah, the below answer should be good enough in that case.
Mar 14, 2013 at 16:17 comment added UberLambda Well actually that's true. But I can rotate the camera
Mar 14, 2013 at 16:15 comment added Benjamin Danger Johnson I believe that only works for rotating around the y-axis. I'm not sure if there is something that works on the z or x axis's.
Mar 14, 2013 at 16:11 comment added UberLambda Well, see the answer below: Now I know you can
Mar 14, 2013 at 16:06 comment added Benjamin Danger Johnson You can't do this with an orthogonal camera (orthogonal means 2D/straight down), what you should do is render what gets displayed on the camera to a texture that is placed on a plane in 3D and use a regular camera to display to the user. Then to get the rotation you want you can either rotate the plane or have the camera orbit around it.
