[Interest] qml or qwidget

[Sean Harmer]

Hi,

widgets or QML depends upon what type of application you want to build 
and how you want the UI to look. Both widgets and QML are capable of 
housing OpenGL content. Do you have a screenshot/mockup of the type of 
UI you are after please?

I agree that Qt 3D is not wise at this stage if you already have your 
own rendering framework. Changing that too whilst doing the rest of the 
work is just adding to the complexity.

Cheers,

Sean
