Gloss Meshcapade

Gloss-MC is the thin wrapper on top of Gloss that is used at Meshcapade to render and manipulate SMPL body models.

Dependencies

The main dependencies are Gloss and SMPL-RS which you can clone and install by following the instructions in their repos.
After Gloss and SMPL-RS are cloned, you can clone the current repo in the same root path.

$ git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/meshcapade/graphics/gloss_mc.git

Therefore the file structure should be something like:

├── my_code
│   ├── gloss
│   ├── smpl_rs_suite
│   ├── gloss_mc

Further dependencies can be installed with

$ sudo apt install nodejs npm 

Install Web

$ cd gloss_mc
$ wasm-pack build --target web
$ npm i

If that doesn't work, try RUSTFLAGS=--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis wasm-pack build --target web

Finally we create a link from gloss_mc/src/pkg to gloss_mc/pkg: pushd src ; ln -sf ../pkg/ . ; popd

Run

Run npm run start.

If you get any errors about something else running on the same port you can use npx kill-port 3000

Got to http://localhost:3000/ or whatever port is reported by npm run start
