What is the role of Qt in editor?

From the current code, I don't see any connection between Qt and runtime. Is the next step to let Qt use the RHI provided by the project?

Qt is just be used for UI development. Rendering is covered by Render/RHI, game logic is covered by Runtime, Reflection is covered by Mirror.

I am a newbie, is Qt a replacement for imgui?

[FlyAndNotDown]

In my opinion, imgui is suitable for demo, but not a good answer if you want to build a real engine. And, imgui is ugly 😅

[justforlxz]

OK, I understand.

I am currently developing a project that allows Qt RHI to use opengl es or vulkan provided by a third-party library to reduce data copying when drawing in the render window. Is this consistent with Explosion's plan?

Our RHI is used for game rendering, not UI, we not care about UI rendering now 😅
