Thank you!

We are indeed aiming for release with Qt 5.5. I've made a kanban board in JIRA 
for the Qt3D 2.0 Release at

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=12

These are rather high-level, terse descriptions but more detail can be 
provided if anybody wishes to help out.

A key task in order to be able to have a commercial release of Qt3D is

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-42632

Cheers,

Sean
