⌚ Horology Studio 3D

Horology Studio 3D is a native C++20 / Qt 6 (Qt Quick 3D + QML) desktop customizer for 3D luxury watches. It features dynamic C++ texture mapping for custom watch dials, PBR sapphire crystal and steel materials, interactive 360° orbit viewport controls, and dynamic strap switching in an Expensio Pro dark dashboard interface.

🌟 Core Features

• Native C++20 / Qt 6 Engine: Ultra-fast PBR shader pipeline rendered with Qt Quick 3D.
• Dynamic Watch Dial Mapper: Upload custom watch face images (.jpg, .png) to map graphics onto the 3D watch dial in real time via C++ (DialController).
• 3D Sapphire Crystal & Brushed Steel Case: Multi-layered PBR materials including anti-reflective glass transparency and specular highlights.
• Expensio Pro Dark UI Aesthetic: Dark slate dashboard (#101115), glowing electric-blue PRO badges, and left sidebar navigation.
• Strap Variant Selector: Real-time switching between Vintage Leather, NATO Fabric, Milanese Loop, and Rubber.
• Interactive Orbit Camera: Smooth 360° mouse rotation, pan, and scroll-wheel zoom.
• Automated CI/CD GitHub Release: Automated MSVC compilation, windeployqt packaging, and release deployment on tag push (v1.0.0).

🚀 Building & Running

Prerequisites

• Qt 6.8+ (with Qt Quick 3D module)
• C++20 compatible compiler (MSVC 2022 / GCC 12+ / Clang 15+)
• CMake 3.16+ & Ninja

Local Compilation

Run the 1-click build script:

build_local.bat

Or manually with CMake:
