Using Top-Down Camera with Shaders

Positioning Your Camera

This shader pack is designed to work with top-down camera angles. Switch to a top-down or isometric camera view using your camera controls, then the shaders will automatically adjust your game's lighting and shadows to match that perspective.

The shader reprocesses how light and shadow contrast appear on your screen, making the overhead angle feel consistent with the visual style of Project Zomboid. This works across all biomes, though the survival atmosphere effect may vary depending on your current environment.

If the visual effect doesn't feel right, verify your camera is positioned at a true top-down angle rather than a slight angle, as the shaders are optimized for that specific view.
