+====== Introduction ======
+Gorilla3D is an addon framework for Delphi Firemonkey 3D and it's not a game engine, even though we provide more and more design time editors to make things easier.
+A 3D framework and a 3D engine are both tools used for creating 3D applications, but they have different purposes and functions.
+A 3D framework is a collection of software libraries, APIs, and tools that provide a set of pre-built functionalities for building 3D applications. It typically includes tools for rendering 3D graphics, managing scenes, handling user input, and implementing physics simulations. The purpose of a 3D framework is to provide developers with a foundation on which they can build custom 3D applications with ease, without having to start from scratch.
+On the other hand, a 3D engine is a software tool designed specifically for creating and running 3D applications. It is a more comprehensive solution that typically includes all the features of a 3D framework, as well as additional tools for managing game assets, handling animations, and implementing complex gameplay mechanics. The purpose of a 3D engine is to provide a complete solution for creating interactive 3D experiences, such as video games or virtual reality applications.
+In summary, a 3D framework provides a foundation for building 3D applications, while a 3D engine is a more comprehensive solution that includes all the tools necessary for creating fully-featured 3D applications.
