Hi,what exacly should be camera settings to generate an isometric image, 
but with pixel-art lines like :

##
  ##
    ##
      ##
        ##   (in ascii-art)

as described at http://rhysd.syntesis.org/tutorial/chapter2point2.html

Such line has not 30 degrees, but about ~26.565, and is used when hand-
painting isometric image because it is easy to create - 2 pixels left, then 
one 1 pixel down and repeat.



 
camera { orthographic
  up y  right x*(image_width/image_height)
  angle 45/1000 
  location 150*1000 // 150 is a distance of camera - image scale
  look_at 0
}  
light_source { 500 rgb 1 }
plane { y,0 pigment{checker scale 50} }
