Physics Simulation Forum

The free Havok PC version is released today, and it includes tools for Max, Maya and XSI.

It could provide a proper toolchain for other physics engines, including Bullet. A simple method would be using a Havok HKX loader and convert all Rigid Bodies, Collision Shapes and Constraints from a Havok World to a Bullet Dynamics World, and use the BulletColladaConverter to export to COLLADA .dae.

Someone interested to check out a path to COLLADA?

Hi Erwin,

I've been investigating the Havok content tools and so far they look great and easy to extend. Unfortunately I can't commit time to help develop a .hkx to .dae filter, but we would definitely use it if it were available.

Can you try out this very early attempt, and see if it works for you?

If so, let us know what features/constraints/collision shapes you need most.
Thanks,
Erwin
