Greetings,
I have a question regarding the following. If in isometric pixel art I build a line (NW to SE) which has 25 double-pixel blocks (or 50 pixels long), then how many pixels long will be the same line in a 45 degree turned perspective in both directions (meaning N to S, and W to E)? Attaching an image in order to make the question more clear. 
Thanks a lot for helping me out. |

I haven't bothered to derive the math...but a quick look at a suitable image seem to indicate that the values are length * √2 and length / √2. |
