Hi,
I currently try to add Havok Physics to my space action game. Now I want to load collision models for my ships from files to use them as Shapes.
My question is now: How to load a file (*.hkt or *.hkx) and use it's geometry? Which implementation of hkpShape is appropriate for this usage?
thanks for your help

[HAVOK] Loading a hkpShape from File
I only load an entire physics system from file - so a rigid body with a shape etc...
You'll still have to get the shape from the rigid body or something like that, I think there is a demo which shows you how to load a shape only from file (one of the character rigid body demos I think).
I'm not sure if my method is suitable for this, as I never loaded shapes only from files.
About which is appropriate: anything that isn't a "mesh" (that isn't concave).
Maybe you could get away by using just primitives (box, sphere,...) or make a simple convex mesh.

OK, if I interprete your code snippet correctly, I could store the whole physical data belonging to an object in a hkt file and load it in order to use it as a physical representation of this object.
And the hkpPhysicsSystem includes the RigidBody, which I need to get transformation data?

Correct, you can load an entire physics rigid body with shape and other stuff if you need (constraints, etc...) this way.
