MarcTV 3D Model Embed Block

Adds a block for interactive 3D models in .glb and .gltf format from the media library. You can keep interaction limited to horizontal rotation or enable zoom explicitly when needed. This plugin is being developed on GitHub https://github.com/mtoensing/marctv-3d-model-embed-block Includes the model-viewer runtime locally:
