Some people might want to design their terrain textures in dimetric (isometric) projection because that's how the textures will appear in the game. I suggest we write a script that inverses the transformation done in the render to generate the "flat" texture from a dimetric version. The transformation is pretty straight forward with a transformation matrix:

|  1   -1    0 |
|  0.5  0.5  n |
|  0    0    0 |

If you zoom in you will see some pixels in the top right and bottom left corners are wrong.

Blender 2.8 is not out yet, but we should already consider that the Python API will see some changes. The expected release for 2.8 is late 2018. Until then, all scripts that are submitted to this repo should try to include any known API change as a comment below the command that is going to be deprecated. Further more, each occurence of a soon-to-be-deprecated command should be marked with # TODO: Blender 2.8 API change.

This should hopefully ease the transistion to the new version.
