[Interest] QML 3D animations using png files

[Daniel Price]

I think the OP means PLY files, which are 3D mesh formats.

That's too bad! But on the other hand: no problem at all!

PNG is an "image format", not a "3D format"! So PNG *cannot* have a "texture".

Get a good book about file formats, 3D programming, read the Qt documenation - educate yourself about the following topics (in any
order):

- 3D file formats
- Texture formats
- File formats
- Affine transformations
- Algebra in general can be helpful as well
- 3D modelling with textures
- Learn a 3D modelling application of your choice (Blender, ...)
- ...

Start here:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics

Then here:

Continue here:

The grab a good book of your choice about 3D programming in general and fill your gaps.

Cheers, Oliver

p.s. Or maybe... wait... there was one guy here on the list having great knowledge about "T-Shirt colour rendering with hardware-accelerated OpenGL" - maybe you should ask that guy about "PNG files with textures"... ;) (Sorry, couldn't resist!) _______________________________________________
