Are you tired of boring old isometric and diagonal walls?
Are your buildings looking exactly the same with your known angles?

Well... you either lack creativity or need someone to teach you how to eradicate isometry from your drawings!

- WOWIE!! this wall looks so irregular O_O how does one do this???
It might not come as a surprise, but this trick isn't too difficult to pull off - check this out!
We usually draw isometric lines by drawing two pixels sideways and then moving one pixel up or down. To alleviate this issue, you draw more or less pixels sideways or vertically. Just like this!

Generally, pairing isometric walls with non-isometric ones can create very cool and interesting results, like these buildings I made for Complex Industry:

It might take some practice before you master this skill, however that's something you experienced ever since beginning your plugin creation journey
Just make sure to mind the lighting and not to overuse your newfound knowledge.
Happy Non-isometring!!

If someone has an idea to better call these non-isometric walls, let me know and I'll probably rename it... perhaps.

It looks like this idea came to both of us)) I called them semi-diagonal.
