Havok Tutorial: Getting The Tools Downloaded

First off, your gonna need to download a few things to use Havok properly, or better yet, easily.
Here is a list of things to get...

• The Havok Physics and Animation API.
• The Havok Content Tools Kit.

You can get the physics and animation api from here (or something around here): http://www.havok.com/try-havok. This will give you what you will be programming with in your code. It will come with executable demos as well as source code for those demos to serve as complete code examples to learn how to do stuff.

The content tools kit can bet obtained here: http://software.intel.com/sites/havok/en/. MAKE SURE YOU GET A VERSION TO MATCH YOUR MAYA OR 3DS MAX. I had to get the non 64bit 2011 or something version so that I could use the tools in my student copy of Maya 2011.

Unzip the physics and animation api and browse on down to the demos. Check em out, run the executable (there is one that has all the working demos in it), feel cool.

Install your content tools kit too.

I'll go over these things in other tutorials but for now, yea, thats how you get the actual packages needed to use Havok.
