Isometric Basics

A checklist before you ship an isometric hero

What we check on every hero illustration before it goes live.

We keep every demo in a small repository with one folder per post. Each folder has the HTML, the CSS and a short note on what we tried and dropped. Months later, when a reader asks why a tutorial does something a certain way, the note usually has the answer and saves us a long investigation.

What you built

  • A cube with three shaded faces
  • A floor grid from gradients
  • A hover state that lifts the block

    Great write-up. Would love a follow-up on doing the same thing with SVG.

    This finally made the order of rotations click for me. I had them the wrong way round for weeks.

    Is there a way to do the shadow without a pseudo-element? Our CMS strips empty spans.
