[Interest] Qt and Unity

[Tyler Brown]

Is there a Qt development environment that is as feature rich and easy to
use as Unity?  We're hiring a UI/UX firm, and they are very familiar with
Unity, but if you can point me in a direction that is pure Qt and also a
good 3d modeling UI it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tyler
