# Where to find free 3D models to view in VR

Published 2026-10-10, updated 2026-10-20, by ZeroXR, the maker of Model Explorer (https://0xr.space/).

Open 0xr.space and scroll Home past your own models: the Gallery holds about 1,790 free models, from furniture and food to animals, toys and art, and each card shows its creator and licence. Press one to open it, then View in your space on a Meta Quest or an Android phone with ARCore to stand next to it in the room. Most also have their own page under 0xr.space/m, with a button that opens the model in the viewer.

Almost all are CC BY 4.0, which allows use with credit to the creator, and a few are CC0. Models whose licence is limited are left out. The Gallery is a fixed collection: you cannot upload to it, and it is not a store. A model's page names the creator and licence, and the original source where one is known.

## Steps

1. Open 0xr.space in the Quest browser, the Model Explorer app, a phone or a computer.
2. Scroll the Gallery, or type in Search, for example chair or dinosaur.
3. Press a card. The model opens and a copy is kept on the device.
4. Press View in your space to place it in the room.

## Questions

### Can I use these models in my own project?

Under CC BY 4.0, yes, commercially too, as long as you credit the creator as the licence asks. CC0 models need no credit. Check the licence on the model's page first.

### Do I need an account?

No. Gallery models open in the browser and in the free Quest app with nothing to sign into. Only downloading a file needs a free account.

### Can I download the model file?

Yes, with a free account. Once the model is open it has a card on Home: open the card's three-dot menu and choose Download GLB, Download STL or Download USDZ, then sign in with the 6-digit code sent to your email. The STL is binary, in millimetres with Z up and no colour; the USDZ is for AR Quick Look on iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro. Splats, point clouds and gallery models with a limited licence cannot be downloaded. Keep the creator's credit with the file, as CC BY asks.

### Can I search the Gallery in my own language?

Yes. A search that matches nothing in English is translated, so a Vietnamese or misspelt word still finds models.
