    \title Qt Quick 3D - RuntimeLoader Example
    \brief Demonstrates how assets can be loaded at runtime.
    \image runtimeloader-example.jpg

    This example shows how to implement a simple asset viewer using the \l RuntimeLoader.

    See the \l{Qt Quick 3D - Introduction}{introductory example documentation} for an explanation of
    how to set up a basic scene. Once we have the scene set up we can add the \l RuntimeLoader
    item:

    \snippet runtimeloader/main.qml runtimeloader

    Loading an asset is done by setting the RuntimeLoader's \l {RuntimeLoader::source}{source}
    property. In this example the \l {RuntimeLoader::source}{source} is bound to the \c importUrl
    which will be changed when the user selects a file in the file-dialog.

    Assuming the asset can be loaded, the content will be created as children of the \l
    RuntimeLoader \c importNode. Note that the \l RuntimeLoader is a \l Node type, and since it is
    also the root node for the loaded asset, any transforms applied to the \c importNode will also
    affect its children.

    \section2 Error handling

    If an asset fails to load then the RuntimeLoader's \l {RuntimeLoader::status}{status} property
    will be set to \c Error. The RuntimeLoader's \l {RuntimeLoader::errorString}{errorString} can
    then be queried to get a more detailed description of the error.

    In this example we will be displaying the error message in a red message box in the middle of
    the screen, like this:

    \snippet runtimeloader/main.qml status report

    \section2 Moving the camera

    To make it possible to change the position of the camera we use the \l WasdController from the
    \l{Qt Quick 3D Helpers QML Types}{Helpers} module and bind it to our camera, like this:

    \snippet runtimeloader/main.qml camera control

    In addition to the \l WasdController, the example uses a \l [QML]{QtQuick}{WheelHandler} and
    a \l [QML]{QtQuick}{PointerHandler} to scale and rotate the model.

    \section2 Instancing

    The RuntimeLoader item can also be used in combination with instancing, as shown here:

    \snippet runtimeloader/main.qml instancing

    RuntimeLoader does not inherit from Model, but it has its own
    \l{RuntimeLoader::instancing}{instancing} property which allows us to instance a complex
    imported asset as if it were a simple model. In this case we use the \l RandomInstancing
    component from the \l{Qt Quick 3D Helpers QML Types}{Helpers} module to randomly position items
    within a fixed area and with a random color.
