Awesome! Thanks! I really like the entity and component system in qt3d! It just takes time to understand all the components and how they play together with each other.
Yeah, it's a little bit of a mental shift from traditional OOP but means we can keep adding more components and aspects without baking many assumptions into the core framework of Qt 3D.
If I aggregate the QTransform and QCameraLens into my own camera code, do I need to subclass framegraph node to select my custom camera?
Nope, no need to subclass. The QCameraSelector framegraph node's camera property is intentionally typed as QEntity* for this reason.

All Qt 3D wants from a "camera" is a view matrix and a projection matrix. These come from the QTransform and QCameraLens components respectively, which are aggregated by QCamera. QCamera itself is not special, it is just an entity with these components and provides some API for common operations. If QCamera doesn't suit your needs you can subclass QEntity, aggregate these components, plus any others you want (perhaps a light source), and add whatever API you like.
