You can download the latest Developer-Edition packages for your specific Delphi DX version at

• official: https://gorilla3d.de/files/

Check out the “packages” folder, choose your Delphi IDE version and download the highest version.

Latest Package (for 10.4.1): https://gorilla3d.de/files/packages/10.4.1/Gorilla3D_Delphi_C%2B%2B_10.4.1_0.8.2.1675.zip

The Developer-Edition is free for development purposes and max. 5 developers. When releasing your project you need to purchase the Release-Version!

The free developer-edition contains the same features like the release version, it only contains multiple watermarks.

Download the zip-archive and unpack anywhere (<installation-directory>).

In Delphi IDE go to:

• Menu: Components > Install packages

After package install and path configuration we recommend to:

• Close the IDE
• Kill “adb.exe” process in task manager
• Restart the IDE
• Open an existing Gorilla3D project

WARNING: Sometimes the IDE do not load the Gorilla3D package on startup, especially when creating a new / empty project. Then the IDE do not register all Gorilla3D classes and do not use the correct OpenGL context for design-time rendering!

In case you do not have an existing Gorilla3D demo/application:

• Start the IDE with installed package and configured paths
• Create a new and empty FMX application
• Drag & drop a TGorillaViewport, TGorillaCamera and TGorillaLight onto your form
• Save the project
• Close the IDE
• Kill “adb.exe” process in task manager
• Restart the IDE
• Load your previously created application
