Make sure to check how QObject are related to a QThread. Each QObject belong to a single QThread and cannot be used into other thread. If you need the object into another thread to do processing or signal/slot, you will need the QObject::moveToThread() function on each object first.

You might want to check if the moveToThread() does affect children too (I'm not sure anymore), so you might only move the root parent or you might need to do your own function to move all children too. You also make a lot of parentless object into your code above, make sure this is what you want.

I did this with a secondary QQmlEngine that was executing some Qml declaration into is own other thread and then move the resulting object back to the main loop thread QQmlEngine. So it's doable but not too funny.

The GUI rendering can only work into the Main loop thread, take care if you do some rendering of the scene that will be rendered on screen. The offscreen rendering into buffer does't suffer from this limitation if I remember well. Note this is not Qt3D directly, but my guess here is that it's proabbly working the same way.

Currently I am trying to import a scene in my Qt3d application. The problem is, when creating an instance from QSceneLoader and set the sources QUrl then add it to an Entity, it freezes the application until it finishes the importing. I tried to put it in thread like :


void start()
{
    qDebug() << "Thread";

    QAspectEngine* pAs = new QAspectEngine();
    pAs->registerAspect(new QRenderAspect());

    QRenderSettings *renderSettings = new QRenderSettings();
    renderSettings->setActiveFrameGraph(new Qt3DExtras::QForwardRenderer());

   // Root entity
   Qt3DCore::QEntity *sceneRoot2 = new Qt3DCore::QEntity();
   sceneRoot2->addComponent(renderSettings);

   pAs->setRootEntity(QSharedPointer<QEntity>(sceneRoot2));

   Qt3DRender::QSceneLoader *sceneLoader = new Qt3DRender::QSceneLoader();
   SceneWalker sceneWalker(sceneLoader);
   QObject::connect(sceneLoader, &Qt3DRender::QSceneLoader::statusChanged, &sceneWalker, &SceneWalker::onStatusChanged);

   sceneLoader->setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("C:/Users/USER/Downloads/TreeTest.obj"));
   sceneRoot2->addComponent(sceneLoader);

}


This fuction will run when the Qthread emit the started signal, but then i got this : QObject::setParent: Cannot set parent, new parent is in a different thread.

So i do not know how to import a scene in qt3d without freezing the app, can any one help please.

Thanks in advance.
