Best way to get answers ;)

The project is far from dead. We are hacking on it right now, but given how 
much we want to change from Qt3D 1 we have been working on it in private. 
However, we are now about to begin upstreaming it to a non-CI controlled 
branch in the Qt3D repo.

The architecture has changed quite significantly from Qt3D 1 and we have also 
been working hard through Qt 5.1/5.2 to get more of the OpenGL helpers in 
place that Qt3D will build upon.

I will post more information about the new architecture and future plans 
shortly.

Cheers,

Sean
