Anatomed: 3D Anatomy for Obsidian

Embed interactive, region-isolated 3D anatomy directly in your notes. Write an anatomed code block and get a live, rotatable 3D model inline, showing only the structures you asked for, with a legend to toggle each one. Click a structure to open (or create) its note, wiring anatomy into your knowledge map.

The models are a validated, Z-Anatomy-derived catalogue of ~3,500 named structures. Rendering is always a bounded region (never a whole body system), with graded context: isolated / related / regional.

Demo

Anatomed: 3D anatomy rendered inline in an Obsidian note

Write an anatomed block, get a live 3D model inline, toggle structures, and click one to open its note. Click the image to play.

Install

Anatomed is an official Obsidian community plugin you can download directly from within Obsidian.

Anatomed 3D Anatomy on the Obsidian community plugins directory

From the community catalogue: Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search "Anatomed 3D Anatomy" → Install → Enable.

Manually: download manifest.json, main.js, and styles.css from the latest release into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/anatomed/, then enable the plugin in Settings → Community plugins. Desktop only for now.

Usage

Add a fenced anatomed code block to any note:

```anatomed
region: cervical spine
detail: related
title: Cervical spine
```
  • region: / parts: accept one or more structures (comma-separated), in English or Latin.
  • detail: accepts isolated (default), related, or regional (surrounding structures shown translucent).
  • title: sets an optional heading.

Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan; toggle structures in the legend; hover for names. Click a structure to open (or create) a [[Structure]] note.

Settings

  • Asset base URL: where the 3D models (and the related/regional context data) are fetched from.
  • Structure notes folder: where click-to-create notes are placed.
  • Viewer height and Default detail.

Privacy & network

The 3D model files (GLB), plus a nearest-neighbour dataset used only for related/regional blocks, stream from a public asset host (configurable above). Nothing else leaves your machine; there is no telemetry.

Building from source

This repository is self-contained (MIT). The viewer core under src/ and widget/ is shared with the sibling project anatomed-mcp (which renders the same anatomy inline in Claude).

git clone https://github.com/pitfa19/anatomed-obsidian
cd anatomed-obsidian && npm install
npm run build            # -> main.js, styles.css   (npm run dev for an unminified build)

Layout: main.tsx (plugin entry) · src/ (region resolver + catalogue) · widget/ (R3F viewer

  • helpers) · assets/parts-catalog.json (bundled catalogue). The GLB models and the related/regional neighbour data are fetched at runtime from the asset host.
