Visual Studio 2017. Windows 10 SDK (Min Ver.10.0.10586.0).
Missing .cso error during the build? Windows 10 SDK Ver.10.0.10586.0 can be selected and installed using Visual Studio 2017 installer. If you already installed the higher SDK version, please change the target version in HelixToolkit.Native.ShaderBuilder property to the version installed on your machine.
HelixToolkit default is using right-handed Cartesian coordinate system, including Meshbuilder etc. To use left-handed Cartesian coordinate system (Camera.CreateLeftHandedSystem = true), user must manually correct the triangle winding order or IsFrontCounterClockwise in raster state description if using SharpDX. Matrices are row major by default.
2. Performance Topics for WPF.SharpDX and UWP.
