3D map view - proof of concept using Qt 3D

QGIS 3D

UPDATE: The work on 3D support in QGIS has been merged to QGIS master branch and will be included in 3.0 release.

This repository contains initial work to build a 3D framework for QGIS.

To build with 3D support, set WITH_3D=TRUE in CMake.

This will build qgis_3d library and a testing executable qgis3d.

Note: the testing executable qgis3d tries to load data from a folder specified by dataDir variable in src/3d/testapp/main.cpp. Please clone this repository and point dataDir to the path where you cloned it so it is possible to load the data files.

Pro-tip: you can specify WITH_GUI=FALSE to disable compilation of other bits of code and disable search for extra dependencies.

The code works with Qt >= 5.8, however it is preferred to use Qt 5.9 (LTS release). Unfortunately Qt3D in version 5.7 has some bugs that make QGIS 3D unusable.

This repository is not going to be target of further development of the 3D framework - it still contains testing data and keeps history of the initial 3D work.
