Rendered depth is inconsistent wrt visualized one

• Problem Description:

Thanks for your great work! I'm trying to generate data from inside the editor.
The depth I render with "vget /camera/0/depth" is very different from what I see with "vset /viewmode depth".

This is what I get with "vget /camera/0/depth"

and here what I get by first switching the viewer into depth mode and then storing lit as:
"vset /viewmode depth
vget /camera/0/lit"

Any idea about what is happening there?

@mattpoggi Can you try to spawn a new camera and get the depth, e.g., vset /cameras/spawn?

Same problem

same problem. it is good to see from" vset /viewmode depth ". But it is so different to visualize the depth_npy from "vget/camera/0/depth". Is anything wrong? Thanks for that.

I have found that a similar situation arises when there exists an infinite distance in the region.
