Description
Imagine a 2D game with a free-view 3D camera.
With the right math you could play any old pixel game in three dimensions.
The easy way would be to create a 3D object, a voxel out of a 32x32 tile, but what if you would still use a 2D sprite, only rotated?
You could still start with a flat tile and have the rest of the directions calculated.
This is 12 frames.

1 - isometric
2-6 - rotating
7 - a quarter rotation
8-12 = 2-6 mirrored

In a basic sprite rotation you would have 8 directions so this one is a bit smoother.
