Qt Widgets enter the third dimension: WolfenQt

With Qt's QGraphicsView API it's easy to embed widgets in a 3d scene. This video demonstrates this by embedding QWebViews, mediaplayers, etc in a 3d Wolfenstein-like maze.

where can we download a sample ?

[srodal]

@thomasluquet you'll need to compile it from the source, linked to in the blog post

Common make the Qt 4 dance? wtf...

[jeremieca]

Like it :p

[NoobScratcher]

love the song!

I'd like to ask someone who has knowledge. Does qt provides fast and rather easy way to render video? I need to build interface for video camera. Does qt suits these purposes?

[isirium3]

Oh, and you can also change the textures of the walls and set other npcs?

[isirium3]

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm interested to know if you can apply this to a website and allow other users to interact with each other.

@superkellerman8D It converts it into Assembly. its already is in binary its just binary a CPU can't read directly unless read by something else in Assembly.

@tubetib Assembly is never used to write an entire application but for certain things pure Assembly is used but almost never takes up the entire application. Especially in applications for low-end handhelds I also said that Java is good for what its the standard for which is a complex Gui-based application where the amount of memory used in the application. Qt is also used in Maya and other high end applications so learning it will be very good if you wan't to learn OpenGL and GLSL.

@TheBlitMaster C++ is definitively a better choice for video games. But I believe it is mostly due to the manual control of memory allocations. When the Java garbage collector starts, it freeze everything. Not a good thing for realtime apps. As I know, the Assembly language is almost not used anymore even for low level drivers. C does that job. Java is targeting the enterprise. While I know Java very well, Python serves me better. This was my 2¢.
