This week the new GLScene wikki based web-site has been published. http://www.glscene.org

The new wikki site was designed by Matheus Degiovani with the intention to allow more user interaction with the site. The new web-site is supposed to pull the numerous resources on various web-sites together to form one comprehensive collection of Demos, Help, reference material and tutorials.

We need your help. Especially with the documentation sections. In order to contribute to the web-site you will need to create an account and login first.

Over time a lot of exciting and useful demo's have been created by users around the GLScene library. These have been collected over he years and restructured with the latest GLScene library. Each of the demos contain both source and the executable so even if you don't have Delphi (yet) you can experience the power of GLScene.

The new Demos can be found in the "User demos" package in the Files section.

This OpenGL library leverages the power of Delphi's design-time power. 5 years of development with 18 registered developers this super powerful library has never been formally released. If you use Delphi but have never tried GLScene then you probably have missed one of the most significant 3D graphics libraries ever build.

Lately GLScene has enjoyed an increased user base ranging from casual hobbyists to professional software houses having released some very powerful 3D applications based on GLScene. Also the increased popularity of Lazarus (The open source equivalent of Delphi) has driven users to leverage GLScene to build exciting 3D applications. ... read more

A new Wikki based web-site is being developed by Matheus Degiovani. With the increased activity in the GLScene library it was decided that more immediate input is desired from the GLScene community. This new web-site will eventually replace the old GLScene site. You can admire the beta version of the new website here http://glscene.sourceforge.net/wikka/HomePage

Currently we are working hard to get a solid first release out. For this to happen we go through a number of release candidates. The scheduled release date is 14 July 2006. You can download the release candidate on the "Files" page under "GLScene RC"

Make sure to check the notes with the release.
