Deep subject I know. I'd like to know how to make landscapes using a kind of isometric mesh. For a new RTS/SIM. Landscapes like that of Empire Earth, or Warcraft. Using a top down. The terrain is usualy editable and doesn't require and spleening or smoothing out. Any ideas or rescources?

With or without using the 3D hardware?

Yes 3D for an RTS. So I will be using 3D mode.

You can use Blitz CameraProjMode for starters to get the isometric vew (non-perspective) if that's what you want: http://www.blitzbasic.com/b3ddocs/command.php?name=CameraProjMode&ref=3d_cat
