Engineers from KDAB and The Qt Company have been hard at work over the last months (and will be for some time to come yet) adding in some of the most frequently requested features.

In this talk we will take a tour of some of the more prominent features added to Qt 3D and take a peek at what is coming in Qt 5.10 and beyond. Qt 3D in Qt 5.8/5.9
