Do you have some market stats how much they are used? I mean, I would not personally go for it because I think there are simpler ways to achieve that, but I am not blocking anyone to go for it if they wish. I agree that it is better if Qt is available on as many platforms as possible. In addition, if Qt3D turns out a success and widely scoped, I think it would be even a more fantastic idea for the far future. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
