I don't suppose anyone knows what the ultima 7's perspective is in 3D space? For example, if an object is at point {0,0,0}, at what position (either as angles, or point) should the camera be placed to get the right perspective.

Thanks,

HUH?

u7 is some odd isometric 2d view.

He means if it were 3D, where would you put a camera relative to the center to get a view just like the game view you get now.

U7's perspective isn't proper 3D, so you can't just place the camera somewhere to get the right 'look'.

I think I heard somewhere some renderers do support this isometric mode, though.

U7 uses a skewed orthogonal perspective. As wjp said, you can't get it by just placing the camera somewhere. If you were programming in 3d you'd need to use a custom projection matrix.
