Havok Integration
by JJ62(#0005) · in Torque Game Engine · 06/23/2009 (3:32 pm) · 5 replies
Recently began using the Havok SDK, I am going to try and integrate Havok physics with my own game, currently in development using Torque. I am wondering has anybody tried integrating Havok with Torque yet and how they found it? What problems did you encounter if any?
Any feedback would be appreciated!

How did you license Havok? Last I checked they would not even let private individuals license it for commercial use.

A couple years ago Havok started offering a free version of their Core SDK.

If you are building a commercial PC game, regardless of price, you can begin developing your game immediately after downloading from the www.havok.com/tryhavok site. During development, you can evaluate, prototype, and even publicly demonstrate your PC game, subject to general restrictions in the download agreement, with no further involvement from Havok.
Prior to publicly selling your Havok-powered commercial PC game, however, please note:
If you plan to sell your commercial PC Game above a retail value of $10 USD, (or equivalent amount in other currencies based on prevailing exchange rates at the time of launch), you must first request a no-charge PC Game distribution license from Havok at www.havok.com/PCgamedistribution, prior to retail release of your game. This PC Game distribution agreement is required to ensure you have complied with Havok logo, copyright, and attribution requirements, and that your application is a PC game (commercial non-game application distribution is not allowed). There will be no fee associated with this because the license fee has been covered by Intel® under a commercial agreement with Havok.
If you plan to sell your commercial PC Game for a retail value of less than or equal to $10 USD, the PC Game distribution license is NOT required from Havok … knock yourself out!
