DOC.01What defines this style

A true overhead camera turns the complete character into a readable action-map unit.

This asset uses a direct 90° overhead view, compact painted shapes and no horizon so it can sit naturally in action or survival maps. The camera geometry clearly separates it from the category's 45° isometric strategy unit.

Use it for

  • Top-down action games
  • Survival game units
  • Overhead combat prototypes

Practical notes

  1. In ChatGPT, repeat true 90° overhead if the camera drifts toward isometric.
  2. Use Stable Diffusion pose guidance with shoulders and feet visible from above.
  3. In Flux, simplify hair masses if they cover the small facial plane.
