[Interest] Advice for a beginner QT-GL programmer about 3D frameworks for data visualization

[rpzrpzrpz at gmail.com]

Since this is a Qt Interest list, how does cascade help or integrate 
with Qt?

What would be better, Qt With Cascade and/or Qt With Qt3d?

Or is it better to use Cascade without Qt?
