Brain View Pro (3D 知识大脑专业版)

English | 简体中文

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 1.65x in 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 explanation callouts 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 .md file 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 px with 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.
