3D Brain knowledge graph with study workbench: note preview, personal annotations, node color markers, and hierarchical globular clustering.
Brain View Pro (3D 知识大脑专业版)
Turn your Obsidian vault into an interactive 3D Brain Galaxy with a built-in Study & Note-taking Workbench.
Brain View Pro is an advanced 3D knowledge graph plugin for Obsidian. It organizes notes into hierarchical 3D Globular Star Clusters, eliminates tangled wireframe clutter, and integrates a resizable floating study card with full Markdown preview, personal note auto-syncing, and custom node status coloring.
✨ Key Features
1. 🪐 3D Globular Clusters & Clean Neural Spine Links
- Hierarchical Sector Organization: Notes are automatically clustered into non-overlapping 3D spherical lobes according to your folder hierarchy (e.g. Subjects → Major Modules → Sub-topics).
- Anti-Cobweb Filtering: Fades out peer-to-peer mesh clutter across question notes in the background, rendering clean radial spine links from cluster hubs. Selecting any note immediately illuminates its 1-hop and 2-hop cross-links.
- Floating 3D Region Badges: Floating neon badges hover above major topic hubs with node counts. Click any badge to fly directly to that cluster.
2. 🎨 Node Color Marking & Status Pills
- 7 Study & Review Presets: Instantly tag notes as Key/Error (
#ff3b5c), Doubt (#ff9f1c), Review (#facc15), Mastered (#10b981), Archetype (#00e5ff), Advanced (#c084fc), or Archived (#94a3b8). - Free Color Picker & 1-Click Reset: Pick any custom hex color or restore the default brain region theme.
- 3D Graph Sync & Search Priority: Marked nodes automatically override regional colors, expand by
1.65xin the 3D graph for instant visibility, and are pinned to the top of quick search (Ctrl/Cmd + F).
3. 📖 Full Markdown Preview & Interactive Callouts
- No More Truncation: Renders complete Obsidian Markdown notes inside the floating card, including YAML frontmatter badges, math equations, tables, and images.
- Collapsible Answers & Explanations: Click to fold/unfold
> [!success]- Click to view answer and explanationcallouts directly inside the card — practice and review questions without leaving the 3D galaxy. - 3D Link Traversal: Clicking internal
[[wikilinks]]smoothly flies the 3D camera to the destination note. - Source Editor Toggle: Switch between formatted Markdown preview and raw source code with one click.
4. 📝 Personal Note-Taking & Annotation Sync
- Dedicated Annotation Pane: Built-in notepad at the bottom (or side-by-side in wide mode) for study reflections, mistake logs, or personal insights.
- Two-Way File Sync: Automatically saves your notes directly to the end of your
.mdfile under## 📝 个人笔记with debounced auto-save. - Seamless Flow: Protected with self-save locking so saving notes never interrupts your 3D view or resets selection.
5. ⤢ Resizable Card & One-Click Wide Split Screen
- Spacious Default Window: Default size of
540 × 680 pxwith complete event isolation (scrolling or typing will never trigger 3D zoom or camera rotation). - Split-Screen Mode: One-click toggle to wide split mode (
860 × 720 px) — view questions and explanations on the left, write notes on the right. - Smooth Drag & Resize: Drag the header to move, and drag the corner handles to resize freely with remembered dimensions.
6. 🥽 VR & DNA Connectome Export
- Noda VR (Quest 3): Export your 3D connectome to CSV and explore your brain graph in immersive Virtual Reality via Noda.
- Brain DNA Export: Export a frozen CSV connectome snapshot capturing all nodes, links, and 3D coordinates.
