Hi everyone! Thanks for your support. We've got another one out early for you guys! It's about moving isometric art layers so you can position them accurately. I hope it saves you guys some time. I built a preset that will be coming out for Journeyman + patrons that has already saved me tons of time on just boards for one project.
Moving things at angles that aren't multiples of 90° is a pain. There aren't really any guides for isometric projection. It's not even easy to draw isometric art in Illustrator. Isometric art has been popular for quite a long time—ever heard of M.C. Escher or seen architectural drawings—so it's kind of annoying that it's difficult to work with isometric art inside of AE.
Well, I can help to make it a tiny bit easier to work with. Without sacrificing our ability to move layers anywhere on screen, we're going to build three sliders that will let us move our layers in angles corresponding to our isometric projection. This tutorial builds upon what we built in Tutorial 87: Angular Controls. If you need more explanation on the math behind this, check that one out.
This one is pretty simple, but it will save you a ton of time.
