Orbiter earns its place in the Blender Extensions library for a focused job: spinning the viewport around a chosen object while the rest of your controls stay active. It ranks 441 on Blender Extensions.
Orbiter, made by TFMSTYLE, adds viewport orbiting around a selected object in Blender. Select an object and press play, and the view begins orbiting it. During orbiting all functionality remains active, so you can zoom and tilt to modify the orbit as it runs. Dynamic object switching lets you change the orbit target while orbiting. It was created to visualize models in the viewport and to re-center the viewport to a selected object.
A slider-based speed modifier adjusts orbit speed, while Play, Reverse, and Re-center buttons handle playback. A full screen toggle is also included. The add-on is small in size and requires no special permissions to install.
Version 1.1.0 fixed an orbit speed issue that occurred while pressing shortcuts and changed the center button icon. Orbiter runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it sits at rank 441 in the Blender Extensions library.
Orbiter is best for visualizing models in the viewport and re-centering the viewport to a selected object.
Orbiter is completely free to download and use.
Orbiter is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so any current LTS or later release should run it. The add-on is small, only a few kilobytes, and requires no special permissions to install. You can drag and drop it into Blender or download it and install from disk. If you're on an older Blender build, update before using it, since versions before 4.2 LTS fall outside the stated compatibility range noted on the developer's page.
Orbiter does not require special permissions, according to its Blender extension listing. That means it doesn't request elevated rights when you add it to Blender. Installation follows the standard flow: drag and drop the add-on into Blender, or download it and install from disk. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and issues can be reported on the project's GitHub page. The extension is small in size and supports Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.
Orbiter 1.1.0 fixed an orbit speed issue that occurred while pressing shortcuts, and changed the center button icon. Those are the two documented changes in this release. The add-on runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For the full version history and any newer updates, check the developer's page at tfmstyle.com or the project's GitHub repository, where issues can also be reported.
Orbiter supports dynamic object switching, so you can change the orbit target while the view is already orbiting. During orbiting, all functionality remains active, which means you can also zoom and tilt to modify the orbit as it runs. A slider-based speed modifier adjusts how fast the view moves, and Play, Reverse, and Re-center buttons control playback. A full screen toggle is included as well for viewing models in the viewport.
Orbiter is listed as free in this catalog. It's distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the source terms follow that license. For current licensing details and any updates, check the developer's page at tfmstyle.com or the project's GitHub repository. The extension is small in size, requires no special permissions, and installs by drag and drop into Blender or from disk on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.
