    hmm, not sure about that, could be... were you logged in? Persistent login is failing if you use piiix.com instead of www.piiix.com (vote for the issue on the feedback forum)

    I always use www.piiix.com and was logged in (so if you didn't restart the server the last hour, something's fishy) ... anyway, I didn't have to log in afterwards to post comments either

    now this picture reminds me of some obscure game ;-)

    is it allowed to use PiiiX-created images for game documentation? ;-)

    why not, do you think you should be able to indicate the license for your image? (creative commons, ...)

    indicate it here, or indicate it in my game documentation?

    Can something be called isometric when the angle is 60°/45° ?
    It looks a bit more natural to me than the 60°/60° angles

    keep experimenting with 3D projections

    basically it doesn't matter if its 60/45 or 60/60 since they are technical projections where there is a difference in the need to convey 3D information in a 2D way when compared to other non-technical projections. Since the lines depicting depth are not converging, increasing depth does not suffer from loss of detail because of scaling. The feeling that you have that a 45/60 angle looks more natural than a 60/60 angle is probably due to it being closer to the non-technical - and more often used - head on 3D to 2D perspective mapping.
