Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Z as depth makes more sense to me, as X and Y tend to be the most important in rendering (although it might be different when modelling)
Z is only depth if your camera happens to be at the origin facing in the positive Z direction, though. In most games, the camera almost never rotates except about a vertical axis, though, so Z as the vertical axis stays vertical always. (Exceptions being space sims, that leaning-around-the-corner maneuver in a lot of games where the camera tips, games with shifting gravity, etc.)
I dunno. Z as up always felt more intuitive to me. It's just another thing to argue about like Vim vs Emacs and tabs vs spaces, I guess.
