With the Isometric Z as Y Tilemap, Tiles with different Z-position values are offset along the Y-axis and appear to be at different heights, producing a ‘stacking’ effect with Tiles at the same XY Cell Position. Set the Transparency Sort Axis XYZ values to (0,1,0) to cause all Renderers which are at a higher Y position in the Scene to be rendered first, and appear behind Renderers at a lower Y position. Go to Edit > Project Settings… > Graphics > Camera Settings to set the ‘Custom Axis’ settings.

Set the Transparency Sort Mode to ‘Custom Axis’ and enter (0,1,0) for the XYZ values of the Transparency Sort Axis. See in Glossary conform to this logic, a Custom Axis is used as the Sorting Axis. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. To ensure that all Renderers in the Scene A Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. See in Glossary of an isometric perspective. To render the Tiles of an Isometric Tilemap, Tiles placed further to the ‘back’ of the Tilemap need to be rendered first before those in front to create the pseudo-depth A visual simulation of three-dimensional characteristics on a two-dimensional object or environment. See in Glossary, there are additional settings that need to set with the Project and Grid settings for the Isometric Tilemap to be rendered properly. To create an Isometric Tilemap, go to GameObject > 2D Object > Isometric Tilemap/Isometric Z as Y Tilemap.Īfter creating the Isometric Tilemap A GameObject that allows you to quickly create 2D levels using tiles and a grid overlay. When creating an Isometric Tilemap, there are additional steps to take compared to creating a regular Tilemap.
