Qt and OpenGL: Loading a 3D Model with Open Asset Import Library (Assimp)

Thursday, May 15, 2014 - 10:11 • By Eric Stone • OpenGL, Assimp, Qt, 3D

This blog post is the first in a series that will cover using OpenGL with Qt. In this installment, we will look at how to use Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) (1) to load 3D models from some common 3D model formats. The example code requires Assimp version 3.0. The code also uses Qt for several convenience classes (QString, QVector, QSharedPointer, etc...).
