Video: Qt Quick 3D Released

Jim sends us a tip that Qt Quick 3D has been released.

http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/05/20/qt-quick-3d-downloads-available/

What can you do with Qt Quick 3D right now?

• Create a QML application that features 3D content
• Load models made in 3D studio max or Blender into your app
• Add stock shapes such as cylinders and cubes
• Insert inline shader code into the QML to create neat effects
• Animate your scene with geometric animations such as rotate, translate and scale
• Control your scenes with QML states, transitions and animations
• Write app logic in javascript, and use Qt Quick 2D alongside your 3D content

What is coming in the future:

• Support for next version of QML (this will likely be the first cab off the rank).
• Network awareness (at present URL’s must be local file system only)
• Qt Creator integration for the model loader (to make it easier to position your 3D asset into your Qt Quick 3D scene)
• More sophisticated animations – skinning and morphing
• Physics engine integration

Here are the downloads:

• Maemo 5 – N900
• Symbian – N8
• Win 7 – msvc (for Qt 4.7.3 msvc)
• Linux/Max (source package)
