Anyone know how I would go about rendering in an isometric perspective?

Does this question even make any sense?  Is it a newbie q?

Thanks in advance?

BTW in my research I found this excellent synopsis of different perspective
types: http://www.compuphase.com/axometr.htm

You can do that by using an orthographic camera in the right position; try
this:

#declare viewwidth = 3;

camera {
    orthographic
    location -z

    right x*4/3 * viewwidth
    up y * viewwidth

    look_at 0

    rotate 35*x
    rotate 45*y
}
light_source {<-.5,.7,-1>*999 rgb 1}
box {0,<1,-1,1> pigment{rgb 1}}

It made sense. It's... borderline, I guess. ;)
