# Qt Quick 3D - HelloCube Example

Demonstrates how to render 2D and 3D objects together in Qt Quick 3D.

HelloCube demonstrates how to render a 3D cube with 2D items in Qt Quick 3D.

#### Draw 2D Items

We set up the entire scene in the main.qml file.

To be able to use the types in the QtQuick3D module, we must import it:

     import QtQuick3D

We define simple QtQuick Items with an Image and a Text on a Rectangle.

     Image {
         anchors.fill: parent
         source: "qt_logo.png"
     }
     Text {
         anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
         anchors.left: parent.left
         color: "white"
         font.pixelSize: 17
         text: qsTr("The Future is Written with Qt")
     }

This simple rectangle has two animations for flipping vertically.

     transform: Rotation {
         id: rotation
         origin.x: qt_logo.width / 2
         origin.y: qt_logo.height / 2
         axis { x: 1; y: 0; z: 0 }
     }

     PropertyAnimation {
         id: flip1
         target: rotation
         property: "angle"
         duration: 600
         to: 180
         from: 0
     }
     PropertyAnimation {
         id: flip2
         target: rotation
         property: "angle"
         duration: 600
         to: 360
         from: 180
     }

#### Draw a 3D Cube

Drawing a cube is very simple. After defining a Camera, and a Light, we make a cube with a built-in Model. In this example, we render the previous 2D Rectangle on this cube surface as a diffuse Texture. In our Rectangle, we set `layer.enabled` to `true`.

     layer.enabled: true

When enabled, this property makes the 2D item render into a offscreen surface, which we then use as a texture for our cube.

     id: cube
     source: "#Cube"
     materials: DefaultMaterial {
         diffuseMap: Texture {
             sourceItem: qt_logo
         }
     }
     eulerRotation.y: 90
