these are the primary source for support, work-in-progress, unofficial announcements and minor updates.

Below are "official" packages, but if you want to be on the bleeding edge (don't forget it ain't called "bleeding" for nothing), you can checkout for the SourceForge CVS (project = glscene), browse the CVS content here. If don't know how to setup CVS, please check the FAQ, do NOT bother downloading from CVS before you've read the FAQ (ie. do not download file by file!).

Below you'll find some "canned" downloads, but be warned this page isn't updated very often so you'd better go directly to the GLScene SF Download page for a more up-to-date listing.

File Description

GLScene (latest) Links to the CVS SnapShots download page on SourceForge, this is where you'll find the latest available version of GLScene if you don't use CVS.

MassReplace (223 kB) A utility to convert the old components and class names (from 0.9b and older f.i. used "TDummyCube", which is now "TGLDummyCube") to the new names used in more recent version. It can convert whole source trees, DFMs (binary or text) and PAS files.

GLScene D4 (2935 kB) Latest GLScene "release" version with Delphi 4 support. For Delphi 5 and beyond, use the CVS snapshots (quite old and outdated, don't expect much support).

FlareMaker.zip (165 kB) Small utility to generate high-quality flare textures (screenshot), zip includes executable and source code (Delphi 6).

GLSViewer.zip (approx. 500 kB) A fast viewer for 3D meshes. Supports 3DS, OBJ, MD2, SMD, TIN, STL and PLY for the mesh files, and most common image formats for texturing (JPG, TGA, BMP, CEL, PNG...). Source available at the same link.

CodeWarp.zip (290 kB, v1.22) Code navigation expert for Delphi 3-7 (Delphi7 support still experimental), this a productivity tool, not a useless pseudo-class-browser eating up desktop space. Pops up instantaneously, always up-to-date even for under-construction code, has links to classes, funcs etc. in current and related units. Screenshot.

UDPAdvertiser.zip (11 kB) UDP broadcasting made easy : want to automatically detect servers on a LAN ? want to assist users when configuring client apps ? this one is for you.

Mesa 3D Precompiled Mesa 3D binaries for Win32 can be found there. Software rendering only. Unsupported.
Check enclosed readme.txt for more details.

opengl-help.zip (687 kb) Help files for OpenGL from the October 2000 MS Platform SDK, in HTMLHelp format, definetely more complete than the one coming with Delphi.

Opengl95.zip (348 kb) OpenGL32.DLL and GLU.DLL for Windows 95, you may want to try these if you have problems with OpenGL under Win95. If you really don't have hardware acceleration, you may want to use MESA 3D instead.

MS HtmlHelp (v1.32) (3-4 Mb) This package allows viewing/compiling HtmlHelp files ".CHM", which is the new help format from Microsoft that replaces the old ".HLP" format.
Not needed if you have Win98, Win2K or WinMe, go here for details.
GLScene's help file is provided in HTMLHelp format only.
