Like many top-class engineering companies, unu didn’t have in-house expertise for building a modern UI, so they decided to partner with KDAB to build a modern UI based on Qt for their innovative electric scooter. In this video you learn more about the development process in this project, some technical info and why unu chose KDAB as a partner.
As mentioned in the previous article in this series, Qt 3D 5.14 is bringing a number of changes aimed at improving performance. Most people familiar with Qt 3D will know that the API is designed around the construction of a scene graph, creating a hierarchy of Entities, each of them having having any number of […]
Qt 3D makes heavy use of threads, as a way to spread work across CPU cores and maximize throughput, but also to minimize the chances of blocking the main thread. Though nice on paper, the last case eventually leads to added complexity. Sometimes, there are just one too many threads. In the past, we've been […]
This video offers an example of rich 3d visualization KDAB helped create for QI Tissue to make sense of hugely complex and vast datasets now available to researchers in the search for a cure for cancer.
In this video, the third part of a series on using Kuesa 3D Studio, Timo Buske of KDAB gives an overview of the preparation of 3D assets for realtime export, including optimising meshes and creating a scenegraph.
As you already know KDAB is the largest independent contributor to Qt code. Of course we didn't get lazy and we've added a lot of cool stuff to Qt 5.14. In this article I'm going to write about the super cool stuff that we've added to Qt 5.14 for Android. Android multi arch build in […]
With this blog post we are going to kickstart our brand new blog series about KDToolBox. The first class we're exploring is KDTableToListProxyModel, a table-to-list proxy model. The main use case for KDTableToListProxyModel is exposing tabular models to Qt Quick. Qt Quick has a certain number of "view" elements that only support list models: for […]
Celebrating 20 years at the top of the league in Qt, C++ and 3D consulting, in 2019, KDAB's founder and CEO, Matthias Kalle Dalheimer reflected on how we got there.
At KDAB we invest a significant amount of efforts in research and development. We are always looking for new tooling, libraries and utilities that can make our job easier and improve the C++ and Qt ecosystems. Ultimately, the gained knowledge and skills make our customers happier. As part of this process we develop lots of […]
We have released version 2.11.0 of our Qt application monitoring tool GammaRay. GammaRay allows you to observe behavior and data structures of Qt code inside your program live at runtime. GammaRay 2.11 comes with a new inspection tool for Qt's event handling, providing even more insights into the inner working of your application. Besides looking […]
KDAB's Christoph Sterz shows how to use GammaRay and the latest updates (2019) in this short video. GammaRay allows you to examine and manipulate the internals of Qt / QML applications at runtime. It augments conventional debuggers by understanding the implementation of Qt, allowing it to visualize application behavior on a higher level, especially where complex frameworks like scene graphs, model/view or state machines are involved.
KDAB has released a new version of KDSoap. This is version 1.8.0 and comes more than one year since the last release (1.7.0). KDSoap is a tool for creating client applications for web services without the need for any further component such as a dedicated web server. KDSoap lets you interact with applications which have […]
Those of you who've visited KDAB's offices in Berlin, will know we have a fleet of electric scooters for our staff. You may have even tried one yourself! Today, unu, the Berlin-based mobility company that makes them, launches their latest electric scooter - the unu Scooter. The unu Scooter has been completely redeveloped, is more […]
This is a follow-up post to Qt on CMake Workshop Summary – Feb ’19 Intro From May 2nd to May 3rd another Qt on CMake workshop was hosted at the KDAB premises in Berlin, where interested stakeholders from both The Qt Company and KDAB gathered together to drive the CMake build system in Qt further. […]
Each month KDAB schedules time for me to maintain the Qt for Android port. Usually I use it to review the pending patches or fix bugs, but sometimes there is a quiet month and I have time to add new functionalities or improve the existing ones. April was quite quiet so I decided to rewrite […]
QMacTouchBar has landed Recent Apple MacBook Pro models contain an entirely new hardware feature, the touchbar. The touchbar is a touch-sensitive OLED strip sitting above the standard keyboard, where the function keys used to be. macOS uses it for some of the physical buttons that used to be located there, such as volume controls, but […]
Intro Last Monday and Tuesday a few brave souls from both the Qt Company and KDAB gathered together in the KDAB Berlin office premises to work on the CMake build system for building Qt. There was Mikhail, Liang, Tobias, Kai, Simon (QtCompany) as well as Jean-Michaël, Albert, Volker and me (KDAB) sitting together in a […]
Clazy 1.5 is now available. This is a small release, mainly focused on bug fixing. Clazy is a clang compiler plugin which emits warnings related to Qt best practices. We'll be showing Clazy at Embedded World, Nuremberg, Feb 26-28, where we are a main Qt partner. You can read more about it in our previous […]
We have released version 2.10.0 of our Qt application introspection tool GammaRay. GammaRay allows you to observe behavior and data structures of Qt code inside your program live at runtime. GammaRay 2.10 comes with an entirely new inspection tool for QtLocation geo positioning data. Besides visualizing the currently provided positioning data on a map, it […]
Santa Claus is coming to ... wait a minute, it's not Christmas yet! Status update: The patch was merged into master branch on Mar 6th, therefore it will be part of QtCreator 4.10(5.0?) not 4.9! I have the pleasure to let you know that KDAB has contributed to Qt with yet another super cool project! […]
