[Interest] [Qt3D] Is it usable yet?

[BOUCARD Olivier]

Thanks for the answer.

Yes, at the moment it is only to use it. So I keep going on this list.


I following this project since a while now. It is strange that is not a prominent module as, IMHO, it is the greatest addition to QML I have seen.

While it could be a good idea to think about third part solution integration. I think keeping a "low-level" interface could be great. Because OSG or OGRE may reduce flexibility and make thing too complex for small project.

The editor problem is probably link to the same issue as QtCreator still look in the import folder.

Olivier.
