Installer

Since v0.8.3.2265 we provide an easy-to-use installer.

Download the Zip-Archive, extract it and run the “Gorilla3DInstaller.exe”. Download Installer for Windows

WARNING: Previously manually installed packages have to be uninstalled before running the installer. Otherwise path settings may be conflicting.

Select the desired IDE version you want a package to install for.

Click “Install” to start the process.

The application will download, extract and configure everything for you.

Manual Installation

In case you have no access to the Installer Tool, you can still install the package yourself.

Please follow the instructions.

Download the latest package

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

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.

Unpack and configure

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

In Delphi IDE go to:

  • Menu: Components > Install packages
  • Select the package file “Gorilla3D_Delphi_10_X_X_X.bpl” from “<installation-directory>\Win32\Release” depending on your IDE version.

Notes

Since v0.8.3.2265 you will need additional binaries inside the BDS installation directory!

  • Copy “<package-extract-path>\lib\fmod\windows\fmodL.dll” to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\”
  • In some cases OpenSSL libs are necessary too: “libeay32.dll” and “ssleay32.dll”

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
