Show Qt3D stuff inside QWidget in Qt5

Question

So I felt all warm and fuzzy inside after reading that Qt3D has re-emerged in a v2.0 and is in fact becoming a part of Qt5

Answer 1

In case anybody is interested, I implemented an actual Qt3D widget. The code can be found here.

Answer 2

This extraction of this post shows how it works:

#include <QObject>
#include <QWidget>
#include <Qt3DExtras/Qt3DWindow>

class Qt3DWidget
      : public QWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
    QWidget *container;

public:
    explicit Qt3DWidget(QWidget *parent = nullptr);

};

Qt3DWidget::Qt3DWidget(QWidget *parent)
   : QWidget(parent)
{
    auto view = new Qt3DExtras::Qt3DWindow();

    // put Qt3DWindow into a container in order to make it possible
    // to handle the view inside a widget
    container = createWindowContainer(view,this);

    // ... further stuff goes here
}
