-====== Using AssetsManager ======
-The AssetsManager is the core component in effective media management inside your Gorilla3D application.
-Models, textures, audio and so on will be cached for faster access and reusage. You can build packages within the AssetsManager for modular media management.
-For example: you could build a package for the main character and reference to it in every scene package. Scene packages are extremly useful for compact and fast loading of all data of a specific scene.
-===== Package =====
-===== Groups =====
-To organize media content the package provides a number of default groups for assets: models, textures, audio, video, misc, dialogue, inventory.
-===== Assets =====
-  A media file is represented as TGorillaAsset instance inside of a specific group in the assets package.
-  The common media types are listed here:
-  * GORILLA_ASSETS_MODEL
-  * GORILLA_ASSETS_TEXTURE
-  * GORILLA_ASSETS_AUDIO
-  * GORILLA_ASSETS_VIDEO
-  * GORILLA_ASSETS_MISC
-  * GORILLA_ASSETS_DIALOGUE
-  * GORILLA_ASSETS_INVENTORY
-===== DesignTime =====
-You can find the TGorillaAssetsManager component in the toolbar. Simply drag and drop onto your form.
-In the next step we need to create a new package in "Packages" property by the Delphi collection editor.
-===== Example =====
-Alternatively you can create the assets manager and packages at runtime.
-<file pascal Form1.pas>
-  FAssetsManager := TGorillaAssetsManager.Create(Self);
-  FAssetsManager.AddEmptyPackage(GORILLA_PACKAGE_DEFAULT);
-</file>
