Play with Qt 3D on eSOMiMX6

3D applications can be built and run using Qt 3D. This can be achieved with the help of both C++ and QML APIs. Qt 3D is built upon Entity Component System (ECS).

Qt also provides Qt Quick 2 element, Scene3D, that enables embedding the 3D content into Qt Quick 2 UI.

Qt Quick 2 scene can be rendered on with Scene2D and registered to receive events from the Qt3D entity as shown below:

Scene2D {

id: qmlTexture

output: RenderTargetOutput {

attachmentPoint: RenderTargetOutput.Color0

texture: Texture2D {

id: offscreenTexture

}

}

entities: [ cube ]

Item {

id: customQtQuickStuff

}

}

The following are the significant modules with which the Qt 3D rely on:

• Qt3DCore library
• Qt3DRender module
• Qt3DInput module

The features of Qt 3D are as follows:

• Collision detection
• Key-frame and morph target animation system
• Rigid-body physics simulation
• Qt Quick 2 within Qt 3D
• Use QPainter to paint on textures
• PBR materials
• Dynamic materials
• Support for more input devices
• Build time/design time tooling for asset conditioning
• Profiling and debugging tooling
