Rendering engine to load 3D model into Qt

I need an appropriate rendering engine to render a 3D model into Qt, and use Qt then as an event handler to this model. Thank you.

As for the rendering engine, you can go several directions, but I'll mention two. Qt comes with an OpenGL widget. You could make use of this by either:

  • writing your own rendering code to render your model using OpenGL

or

  • making use of a rendering engine/framework which has it's own Qt Widget (possibly derived from Qt's OpenGl widget). I know OpenSceneGraph has Qt integration available. And I seem to remember Ogre does as well. This just to mention two options. Just Google for Qt and your favorite engine and you'll most likely find something suitable. And if not, it is usually not that difficult to write your own integration if you feel like it.

Whichever option is more suitable for you depends on the exact specification of what you're trying to achieve. You probably know that better than we do.

As for the event handling, you might want to be a bit more specific as to what you mean.
