Qt 5.7 has been released, with a new Qt 3D module and other improvements.
“The future of user interfaces is moving towards heavier integration
of 3D graphics. 3D integration of Qt has always been possible with direct
OpenGL programming but with Qt 5.7 and the new Qt 3D module it is now easy
to create 3D UIs and interact with 3D objects using high-level Qt C++ and
QML APIs. Visualizing a 3D model with Qt 3D is now a matter of minutes
instead of hours or days of OpenGL programming. In addition to just 3D
rendering, Qt 3D is a fully extensible 3D framework for near-realtime
simulations e.g. physics engine, artificial intelligence, collision
detection. Qt 3D has been developed together with KDAB, a Qt Service
Partner and the biggest external contributor to Qt. For more information
