The most complete Flutter package for rendering interactive 3D models in various formats (GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX), with the ability to control animations, textures, camera, and more.
The Flutter 3D Controller package is the most comprehensive solution for rendering various 3D model formats, offering extensive functionality to give users optimal control over 3D models.
It leads in implementing new features, while some other packages have just copied Flutter 3D Controller's features and code without proper credit or adherence to licensing.
Notably, when testing other available packages, users may experience gesture malfunctions on iOS and certain Android devices. However, Flutter 3D Controller is the first and only package to resolve this issue with its gesture interceptor feature, introduced in version 2.0.0, released on October 5, 2024.
//Create controller object to control 3D model.
Flutter3DController controller = Flutter3DController();
//Listen to model loading state via controller
controller.onModelLoaded.addListener(() {
debugPrint('model is loaded : ${controller.onModelLoaded.value}');
});
//It will play 3D model animation, you can use it to play or switch between animations.
controller.playAnimation();
//If you pass specific animation name it will play that specific animation.
//If you pass null and your model has at least 1 animation it will play first animation.
controller.playAnimation(animationName: chosenAnimation);
//It will pause the animation at current frame.
controller.pauseAnimation();
//It will reset and play animation from first frame (from beginning).
controller.resetAnimation();
//It will stop the animation.
controller.stopAnimation();
//It will return available animation list of 3D model.
await controller.getAvailableAnimations();
//It will load desired texture of 3D model, you need to pass texture name.
controller.setTexture(textureName: chosenTexture);
//It will return available textures list of 3D model.
await controller.getAvailableTextures();
//It will set your desired camera target.
controller.setCameraTarget(0.3, 0.2, 0.4);
//It will reset the camera target to default.
controller.resetCameraTarget();
//It will set your desired camera orbit.
controller.setCameraOrbit(20, 20, 5);
//It will reset the camera orbit to default.
controller.resetCameraOrbit();

Problem Description : If you're having trouble loading 3D models from a URL on a real iOS device, Lockdown Mode might be the cause. Lockdown Mode is a security feature in iOS that restricts certain functionalities like network requests or loading embedded content to protect user data.
Follow these steps to disable Lockdown Mode on your device:
This package uses Google's model-viewer to render 3D models and it may have some issue in rendering some models/textures, the core of package (Model Viewer) will change in future to support all type of 3D models.
