Below is the notes from the API review session. Please add comment and discuss as needed, I might have missed something

To start a task, edit this description and mark the bullet point(s) you intend to work on by marking the text with strikethrough and create a sub-task for those as needed.

QQuick3DViewport

• Enum for renderMode: remove prefix (RenderMode). Rename Texture -> Offscreen, RenderNode -> Inline.
• WireFrameMode, change/remove?
• ref. scene and scene -> look at unifying the two, or find a better name (e.g., combined scene or something)
• Make the data property a private property (designable?)

QQuick3DNode

• Orientation -> move out to be application (or scene) global. Document what the expectation is (leave it as-is for now, due to the risk and amount of work? needs to be fixed at some point).
• Only have the Orientation for the mesh and, let the backend handle this, leaving all frontend nodes to be in a fixed orientation?
• Should QtQuick3D be left-handed or right-handed? QtQuick is Right-Handed, which suggest that QtQuick3D should be the same so that end up with a coherent solution once we start merging the two. E.g a higher z value on a QQuickItem means that it should be in front of an item with a lower z. This should also be the case for two 3D nodes if you render a 3D scene in orthographic projection? This is not the case if the system is Left-Handed.
• Remove propertyChanged signal arguments, since the add (hidden) variables to the QML context that overshadows the properties itself.

• Rename XXXInScene -> sceneXXX?
• globalTransform -> sceneTransform (sceneScale consider strange?).
• Remove the boneId property, we don’t actually support this now.
• Const usage in the mapping functions

QQuick3DCamera

• isFieldOfViewHorizontal -> enum? name -> orientation?
• Split camera into: default, custom, frustum? (Some controversy as having more classes seen as a positive by all).

Lights (General)

• Have ambient light as a global env. property

QQuick3DAreaLight

• specularColor (remove), ambientColor (Should be its own light type).
• shadowMapResolution -> enum (pow of 2)
• castShadow -> cast(s)Shadow

QQuick3DPointLight

• diffuseColor, should it be just color or diffuse?

QQuickDirectionalLight

• -a-ok?-
• Similarly to other lights just one color property.

QQuick3DMaterial

• Consider if we still want this abstraction.
• Remove the emissiveMap2
• Abbreviation IBL etc.

QQuickDefaultMaterial

• Rename to StandardMaterial or something else?
• Simplify and let the PrincipledMaterial be the one to rule them all? remove fresnel?
• Remove prefix on enum(s)
• culling mode -> internal
• VertexColor/vertexLighting doesn’t work
• remove enum prefixing
• remove the diffuse map 2 and 3
• change emissivePower -> factor
• Document the specular functions we have
• Blend mode “Normal” -> SourceOver
• vertexColors -> useVertexColors
• remove diffuseLightWrap -> remove? we don’t know what this actually does. Affected by the translucency map?
• Document the bumpAmount affecting both the normal map and bump amount, also if both maps are provided only one is used (normal map?)

QQuickPrincipledMaterial

• Remove enum prefix

QQuickCustomMaterial

• Lots of naming fixes
• Needs documentation done in docs task
• Remove layers
• Move custom material to material library and rename it to QtQuick3D.Materials

QQuick3dEffect

• Remove, not used -> backend code needs work

QQuick3DModel

• Remove skeletonRoot
• Fix enum prefixing
• tess -> tessellation
• Move the orientation to the mode (see Node)?

QQuick3DPickResult

• position -> uvPosition
• Add function for getting the global position of the hit.

QQuick3DSceneEnvironment

• Remove effects
• Expend abbreviation (ao etc)
• Remove probe2?
• IBL -> Ibl / ImageBaseLighting
• disable -> enabled: e.g., isDepthTestDisabled -> depthTestEnabled
• Brightness -> Exposure? (large task, maybe just document it?)
• lightProbe -> should we just call it environmentMap?
• shadow properties, move to the light (remove, shadowDistance, strength etc.)?

QQuick3DTexture

• MappingMode::Normal -> Uv
• TilingMode::Unknown -> remove?
