This will only work if the assimp libs and headers are found by pkgconfig at 
build time. Remove your Qt3d build including the .qmake.cache file, install the 
assimp development package and rebuild Qt3d. If it still fails to detect 
assimp take a look in the generated config.log file for hints.

The gltf spec is still evolving. We should disable this until it matures more. 
Please disregard for now.

Yes I see this too but have not been able to track it down yet but I don't see 
any bad side effects from it.

This also uses the assimp scene loader so without assimp support you won't see 
anything here.

All looks as I see too, except for the lack of assimp support.
