Developed by janispritzkau, this plugin leverages Google’s robust `<model-viewer>` component to display and embed 3D models in glTF/GLB format. It transforms your Obsidian vault into a richer environment for visualizing complex data, designs, or educational content.\n\n## Installation\nTo install the Obsidian Model Viewer plugin, follow these standard steps for community plugins within Obsidian:\n1.  Open Obsidian and navigate to `Settings`.\n2.  Go to `Community plugins` and ensure `Restricted mode` is turned off.\n3.  Click `Browse` and search for 'Obsidian Model Viewer'.\n4.  Select the plugin, click `Install`, and then `Enable` it.\n\n## Examples\nThe plugin integrates seamlessly with Obsidian's native embed syntax. Here are some examples of how you can embed 3D models:\n\n**Basic Embed:**\nmarkdown\n![[DamagedHelmet.glb]]\n\n\n**Specify Height:**\nmarkdown\n![[Duck.glb#height=400]]\n\n\n**Specify Aspect Ratio:**\nmarkdown\n![[Sponza.gltf#aspect=16:9]]\n\n\n**Specify Aspect Ratio and Width:**\nmarkdown\n![[StainedGlassLamp.gltf#aspect=1|320]]\n\n\n**Multiple Models Side-by-Side:**\nmarkdown\n![[A.glb|160]] ![[B.glb|160]] ![[C.glb|160]]\n\n\n**Using `<model-viewer>` Attributes:**\nYou can also pass any attributes supported by the underlying `<model-viewer>` component.\nmarkdown\n![[Fox.glb#autoplay&camera-controls=false&camera-orbit=30deg+80deg+80%]]\n\nFor a full list of attributes, refer to the official `<model-viewer>` documentation.\n\n## Why Use Obsidian Model Viewer?\nThe Obsidian Model Viewer offers several compelling reasons to integrate it into your workflow:\n*   **Rich Visualization:** Directly view and interact with 3D models, making your notes more dynamic and informative.\n*   **Extensive Format Support:** It supports `.glb` and `.gltf` files, including popular glTF extensions like Draco compression and PBR materials, ensuring high-quality rendering.\n*   **Seamless Obsidian Integration:** Enjoy native Obsidian features such as file viewing, hover previews, and markdown embed syntax, all tailored for 3D models.\n*   **Customization:** Leverage the full power of `<model-viewer>` attributes to customize model behavior, camera controls, and appearance directly from your notes.\n*   **Future-Proof Standard:** Utilizes glTF, known as the 'JPEG of 3D', which is compact, compressible, and optimized for rapid GPU loading.\n\n## Links\nFind more information and contribute to the project via the links below:\n*   **GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/janispritzkau/obsidian-model-viewer](https://github.com/janispritzkau/obsidian-model-viewer){target=_blank}\n*   **<model-viewer> Documentation:** [https://modelviewer.dev/docs/index.html](https://modelviewer.dev/docs/index.html){target=_blank}","metrics":{"detailViews":4,"githubClicks":1},"dates":{"published":null,"modified":"2026-01-20T00:00:31.000Z"}}
