Is it possible to have different in game camera angles?

[GeneralEtrius 78]

I've seen some screenshots of Simcity 4 that really do not look like they were taken with the standard isometric camera angles. I don't remember which ones or their locations, though.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have seen these too, I also wonder how you can do that.

In the game, you are limited to the four standard trimetric views.

With an image editing program and some practice, however, you can give the illusion of a different view. This is what is done for the pictures you are referring to.

I can tell you that it's definitely not in game

There's absolutely no way to add new camera angles to the game because of the way the game is built. What you've seen is probably just normal game screenshots skewed in Photoshop or another image editing program.

You can't "add angles" for the simple reason there are no "cameras".. its all planar at fixed angles

So it's not possible to edit the game code to allow full 3D?

No! Impossible!

......I would even say far from Impossible.

...all the buildings and props have been rendered so you can see it from 4 angles and 5 different heights and these images are stocked in the game. No way to do different nor add any other angles. If you want more then go to Cities XL.

The BAT, for example, is limited to the four angles you get.  Each scene is rendered four times at five mangnifications giving you 20 views, but with the exception of detail, all are the same.  This type of rendering is called 2½D.
