Fork of the original GLB / GLTF Viewer with a major new focus: editing UV layouts directly inside VS Code.

This project keeps the strong model viewer foundation of the original extension and extends it into a practical UV workflow with layered decals, crop tools, paint tools, masks, and live texture preview on the 3D model.

This extension is a fork and continuation of the original work by OHZI Interactive Studio.

Huge thanks to the original authors for building the viewer foundation that made this evolution possible.

• Original shared core: ohzinteractive/glb-viewer-core

The main goal of this fork is not only to inspect models, but to make UV work possible directly inside VS Code.

Added focus in this fork:

• UV layout inspection inside a dedicated 2D editor
• moving, scaling, rotating, and transforming UV-related layers
• multi-layer decal workflow
• image loading directly into the UV editor
• crop tools, including circular crop
• eyedropper, brush, eraser, softness, and mask painting
• live texture composition preview on the model
• export and edited model save flow
• RU / EN interface support

• open .glb and .gltf files in a custom VS Code editor
• inspect hierarchy, materials, textures, geometries, animations, and model info
• preview textures and model structure without leaving VS Code
• open a dedicated UV Editor panel
• view UV layouts over the base map or checker/grid background
• move, scale, rotate, crop, paint, and mask decal layers
• preview the UV result live on the 3D model
• export composed textures and save edited GLB output

• multi-layer decal workflow
• per-layer visibility, solo, lock, duplicate, rename, opacity, and ordering
• floating UV preview window
• wheel zoom and RMB/MMB pan
• transform handles from corners and sides
• rectangular and circular crop
• eyedropper, brush, eraser, softness, and mask painting
• local undo / redo and persisted editor state
