Description

If Famous could run in Qt (with QtCanvas3D for Meshes, and with Rectangles in place of DOMElements in QML (Qt's Quick Markup Language) that'd be super sweet. The whole environment is JavaScript.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing comments on this issue to understand prior discussion. Then examine the engine's renderer module, specifically how WebGL contexts are created and used (likely in files like `src/renderer/webgl.js`). Research QtCanvas3D API to understand compatibility. Consider creating a proof of concept that replaces WebGL calls with QtCanvas3D equivalents. If unclear, ask maintainers in the issue for clarification on expected implementation details.
