Havok physics engine available on Xbox incubator program

Havok has joined the Xbox Incubator Program, an unprecedented program for aspiring game developers for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. Under the terms of the program, eligible developers will gain free access to the Havok physics software development kit to develop their games for six months. Havok technology is a powerful real time physical simulation solution. It offers integrated rigid body, soft body, fluid, cloth, aerodynamics and particle dynamics across all consumer level hardware platforms including PC, Mac, Linux, PS2 and the upcoming Xbox. Havok also provides the technology behind reactor from Discreet, the dynamics package for 3D Studio MAX. Worlds can be designed, tested and interacted with, in real-time. Participants on the incubator program approved by Microsoft will gain access to the latest Havok physics technology. It will include email and telephone support. Incubator program members can also utilize functionality within reactor from Discreet to export files directly into the Havok physics engine.
