See in VS Marketplace: vscode-3d-preview
This extension is inspired by vscode-3dviewer but has minimal features to preview triangular meshes, and point clouds.
This extension supports 3D formats equally as Open3D (but partly not support currently).
| point | mesh | |
|---|---|---|
| obj | o | o |
| off | o | o |
| pcd | o | x |
| ply | o | o |
| stl | x | o |
| xyz | o | x |
All settings live under the 3dpreview namespace and act as the initial values of the control panel shown in the viewer. Most of them can also be changed on the fly from the panel.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
hideControlsOnStart |
false |
Fold the control panel when the viewer opens. |
cameraControls |
"trackball" |
"trackball" allows free rotation in any direction. "orbit" keeps the camera upright and cannot pass over the poles. |
showMesh |
true |
Show mesh triangles. |
flatShading |
false |
Use flat shading instead of smooth shading for meshes. STL files are always rendered flat because the format stores no shared vertices. |
showWireframe |
false |
Show the wireframe. |
wireframeColor |
"#0000ff" |
Wireframe color. |
wireframeWidth |
0.5 |
Wireframe line width. |
showPoints |
false |
Show the point cloud. |
pointColor |
"#cc0000" |
Point color (used when the file has no vertex colors). |
pointSize |
0.5 |
Point size. |
pointSizeAttenuation |
true |
Shrink points with distance from the camera. Disable to keep every point visible at a fixed on-screen size, e.g. for large lidar scans. |
lightIntensity |
1 |
Intensity of the directional light that follows the camera. Set 0 to keep only the ambient hemisphere light. |
backgroundColor |
"#121212" |
Background color. |
fogDensity |
0 |
Density of the exponential fog. |
showGridHelper |
true |
Show the grid helper. |
showAxesHelper |
true |
Show the axes helper. |
- Q. When I drag and drop a mesh file, a blank display is shown.
- A. To show a 3D data using this extension, you should first open a workspace including the 3D data that you want to open.
