Price of havok

by Gary Roberson · in General Discussion · 05/08/2005 (11:47 am) · 6 replies

I just been to the Havok site to find some information about their product, but I cannot find the license fees for their product.

Does anyone here know how much it costs?

Also, besides ODE, does anyone know of any other physics engine?

Xander Twombly expressed interest in Novodex. Apparently it is free for commercial use provided it supports the PhysX add in board.

You figures might be a bit off
The last time i spoke on the phone with the torque guys the out of the box license costs around $120 000 . you can get slimmer versions of it with less features but that is what I was quoted

I was told the same price that Ryan was, by a Havok represenative himself, and this was a couple years ago and it even had royalties back then as well.

Yea, that might be the only thing that changed I am pretty sure that the 120k price tag is royalty free now..

either way it ain't cheap at all...
