3ds Max 7 HKE Export Gone

[MartyPlumbo]

Is it just me or has HKE export been eliminated from 3ds Max 7? I've been
using Max 7 since it was released and today, when I went to export my first HKE
file from it, I discovered that the Reactor panel has been updated. Namely,
the 'Havok Animation & Export' rollout has been renamed 'Preview &
Animation' and the 'Export to File' button is gone. Is this for real or am I
just missing something?

Hi Marty,
HKE export option is gone since 3DS Max 5.1 !
Of course, the last breath was PLASMA (during the MAX6 era).
Try to build your own behaviours ...
cheers

Yeah, I just did some Googling and found out the bad news. I never did any
Havok stuff in Max6, so I never even noticed until now. I've got Plasma, but I
can't use it since all of my scenes are Max6 or Max7 format now and Plasma only
loads Max5 format sutff. Man, the whole Shockwave3D situation just keeps
getting better and better, doesn't it? Good thing I bought VirTools.

There's a rumour : Santa (who's coming next month) is a guy from DIRECTOR team.
He is a friend of another guy from INTEL. They had a neverending brainstorm
and, as result, the new SW 3D engine (DirectX 9c and HAVOK 2.0 featured) is
almost completed. Virtual Director 2005 is gonna be the best Virtual 3D Tool

there's a rumor going round that santa claus is just fiction... well, serious,
i'd love to believe in santa again. i tried to get some info about VirTools
and what i found wasn't very impressing... how much is it and is it easy to use
for someone with lingo knowledge?

Here's a very good overview of VirTools, from the perspective of a professional
game developer: [url]http://greggman.com/games/Virtools-Review/Virtools-Review.htm[/url]

Does anyone have any info on th Shockwave 3D engines future, will their be any
other tool to do what Plasma did, or a plug in for max 7 to allow HKE file
export. Any advice on what people are doing as a work around (just using old
version of max maybe) would be very helpfull, as my development in this area
has pretty much stopped over the last 6 minths
