CameraHelper

This helps with visualizing what a camera contains in its frustum.
It visualizes the frustum of a camera using a LineSegments.

Code Example


const camera = new v3d.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);
const helper = new v3d.CameraHelper(camera);
scene.add(helper);
