When developing Qt 3D Studio runtime 2.x we have actually already done a lot of work also in Qt 3D and there are not a whole lot of items that would be directly applicable to Qt 3D that are not already part of it. Some items may exist that could be brought over to Qt 3D, for example KTX package format. But in general there is not that much items that would be useful as part of Qt 3D, without the Qt 3D Studio.
maybe too strong a word. But https://blog.qt.io/blog/2019/04/01/qt-3d-studio-2-3-released/
mentions Dragon & Dragon Wings which unless I’m mistaken are more or less complete replacements
for Qt 3D’s rendering and animation backend respectively.
