[Interest] Qt-3D scene file formats

[Sean Harmer]

I was exporting from blender to glTF for greater control that wahat you 
get with assimp importing blend files.

In general be cautious of importing blend files for direct realtime use 
as the models are often created for path-traced rendering rather than 
real time constraints. It's usually better to 1) get what you want and 
2) not pay the price at runtime for the conversion.

Cheers,

Sean
