View 3D models (GLB, glTF, STL, OBJ, three.js JSON) within your IntelliJ-based IDE.
Orbit the camera, toggle wireframe, play animations, and inspect the model's internal structure.

- Render 3D models directly in the editor tab
- Orbit, pan, and zoom the camera, with an Auto-rotate toggle
- Wireframe mode toggle from the status bar
- Animation playback controls (play and pause) from the status bar
- Animation selector for models that contain multiple animations
- View the glTF JSON alongside the 3D preview, with an editor / split / preview toggle
- Highlight materials in the model by moving the caret or selecting inside the glTF JSON (works for
materials,meshes, andnodesentries) - Model Explorer tool window that browses a glTF model's internal structure (asset, scenes, nodes, meshes, materials, accessors, buffer views, images, samplers, and animations). Double-click a node to jump to it in the glTF JSON, or select a material, mesh, or node to highlight it in the 3D preview
| Format | Support |
|---|---|
| GLB | Built in, works out of the box |
| glTF | Built in, referenced assets (textures, binary buffers) are bundled automatically |
| STL | Built in, geometry only (binary and ASCII) |
| three.js JSON | Built in for three.js model JSON (BufferGeometry, Object, or Scene), with a toggle between the JSON editor and the 3D preview |
| OBJ | Optional, enable it in Settings > Tools > 3D Model Viewer |
- Open Settings > Plugins > Marketplace
- Search for "3D Model Viewer"
- Click Install
- Restart the IDE if prompted
- Download the latest
.zipfrom GitHub Releases - Open Settings > Plugins
- Click the gear icon and choose Install Plugin from Disk...
- Select the downloaded zip file
- Restart the IDE if prompted
- Open any supported model file (
.glb,.gltf,.stl, three.js JSON, or.objwhen enabled) - The model renders in the editor tab
- Use the status bar widgets to toggle Wireframe, toggle Auto-rotate, play or pause animations, and select an animation
- For glTF files, open the Model Explorer tool window (right stripe, shown while a glTF file is focused) to browse the model's internal structure. Double-click a node to jump to it in the glTF JSON, or select a material, mesh, or node to highlight it in the preview
