GDC 07: Codemasters licenses Havok Behavior element
Word from site Develop is that Codemasters has already licensed the new Behavior tool included in Havok 4.5, which made its debut today at the GDC. Havok 4.5 is a modular suite of artist tools and run-time tech that includes Havok Physics and Havok Animation, as well as the new Behavior element.
“For the next generation of games platforms we really wanted to push the boundaries in terms of realism and characterisation, but we needed to do it without compromising our timescales,” said Gavin Cheshire, vice president of Codemasters Studios. “Havok Behavior allows us to create a huge range of behaviors for our next generation characters and do it in a way that makes the most of both our creative and programming resources.”
Codemasters plans to use Behavior in a number of upcoming next-gen titles, details of which have yet to be revealed.
