"Havok?, the premier provider of interactive software and services to digital creators in the games and movie industries, today announced that the company will offer the PC version of its award-winning physics and animation software product ? Havok Complete ? for download free of charge.
Available for non-commercial use, Havok Complete for the PC will be freely downloadable in May 2008."
This is fantastic news for independent game developers and hobbyists. Clearly this move is meant to upset NVIDIA's announcement that their recent acquisition of AGEIA PhysX will result in a free software-based physics engine for all GeForce 8 series owners--- essentially obliterating the hardware physics industry before it really even took off.
