Isometric depth sorting

[fallen pewter]

Custom draw_texture() based depth sorting with height data

3d simulation of the isometric projection, or vice versa.... with subtile offset accommodations for spritelike objects -- may require more tweaking maybe?? Elevation for tiles are stored with the tileset; the shadow texture in this case is projected solely on elevation data and not a raycast (probably will look better with raycasting however)

video demonstrates a sprite object testing the depth sorting of tiles even when it is in between tiles with a potentially closer scalar depth value by adjusting for elevation and localized priority

I don't think this counts as a scene graph, it uses godot's sort_custom and can squeak out 60 only just -- probably would be way faster with c# and a different list sorting algorithm)

Godot 3.x's Light2D rendering doesn't work correctly with viewports so I'm experimenting with a custom shader based on the phong lighting model. I'm curious if the effect will be convincing without raycasting or 3d occlusion.

2.5d Voxel rendering using the MagicaVoxel importer from the asset library; two 3d viewports render the texture and normal map separately and then are combined into the 2d lighting model

the normal map is rendered at a much lower resolution to smooth out the voxels
