Kuesa ToneMapping QML Example

QtQuick and Qt3D integration

The tonemapping example relies on the regular QtQuick and Qt 3D APIs to instantiate a QtQuick based application that combines Qt 3D based content with a 2D UI overlay.

SceneEntity

Kuesa provides the [SceneEntity ] element which holds collections of Qt 3D assets accessible by name.

Importing a glTF2 File

In order to load a glTF2 file, Kuesa provides the [GLTF2Importer ] element. If the sceneEntity property is set to a valid [SceneEntity ] instance, Qt 3D assets generated while parsing the file will be automatically added to the various asset collections.

        options.generateTangents: true
    }

Controlling the Exposure and Tone Mapping

We use a [ForwardRenderer ] FrameGraph to render our scene. This FrameGraph has properties to control the exposure as well as the tone mapping algorithm we want to use.

Therefore we can create a binding on the toneMappingAlgorithm property of our [ForwardRenderer ] FrameGraph to control the tonemapping algorithm used
