To setup a configuration file, run npx @kreativwebdesign/lode-cli init. This will guide you through the setup for the configuration file. If you change the name of the configuration file, make sure to pass the path to the run command.

Configuration file

{
  "source": "**/*.gltf",
  "outputFoldername": "lode-build",
  "watch": false
}

config

Run npx @kreativwebdesign/lode-cli config to configure the level of details for each model. You can pass the following options:

`-s`, `--source`	Source glob pattern	`*/.gltf`
`-a`, `--all`	Wheter to reconfigure all models	`false`

\ For each model the following options can be set:\ How many level of details should i generate (min. 2): Set how many level of details the cli should generate for this model. Minimum is two, the first being the original file.\ \ Then for each level of detail the following options can be set:\ For which distance should the artifact "XXX" be used? (-1 for infinity):\ Set the distance, this artifact should be visible. The values stack onto the previous distance. Type -1 for the last artifact to be rendered infinitely (only valid for the last artifact). The first one being the original artifact\ Target scale for the artifact "LOD-X" (0-1):\ Set the target scale for this artifact relative to the original size. Choose a value between 1 (being the same as the original) and 0 (being no polygons). This can not be set for the original artifact.
