Body: <p>I know that its not possible to create an non-perspective camera in after effects. But I read about a way to fake the effect of an isometric camera in after effects. I just didn't find something useful in the web so far so I wanted to post the Question about how to create an isometric camera in after effects here so you guys can share your ideas on how to realize this problem.</p>
  
  <p>I just cant get over the fact that its not possible in a mighty program like After Effects.</p>
