    Is it possible to create a camera with multiple perspectives being rendered?

    Scenario: The environment is being presented in an oblique perspective via Camera Perspective Editor. Props and characters are rendered in isometric.

    Example in 2D:

    I think I just found the solution. Had no idea you can handle GUI like this. :p

    i guess you can render props and characters to indiividual RenderTexture, and render it to main scene as Sprite. Directly render t to the screen will be very challenge because of the depth test

    The other way is to not use any kind of special camera, and just build all of your environment and characters to look like they're oblique / isometric.

    For example:
    Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

    Or use a vertex shader to perform the deformation
