Configuration

The default value of GUI settings can be edited in vscode extension settings (@ext:kiui.mesh-viewer).

For example:

• CameraNear: -1 means we will auto-calculate a suitable value for better depth visualization, but it may lead to problems when zooming in.

Development

Install Node.js and npm first, then clone this repo and:

# install dependencies
npm install 

# use F5 or the dubugger panel to start debugging (will open a new VSCode window with this extension enabled.)
# Help->Toggle Developer Tools (or Shift-Control-I) to see console output.

# publish (requires vsce, a publisher as defined in package.json, and the personal access token)
# first change version in package.json
vsce publish
