Configuration

Step 1: Install Havok

  1. Install Havok from the Resources link.
  2. Run the executable file to start the installation process. During the installation, save the installation path somewhere for future reference.
  3. After the installation, navigate to the folder havok_contectool\New DLL in the Resources folder and copy the two .dll files.
  4. Go to the previously saved Havok installation path and locate the directory: Havok\HavokContentTools\filters
  5. Paste the copied .dll files into this folder and replace the existing files when prompted.

Step 2: Configure the Tool

Once Havok is installed, you can proceed to configure the tool and its core features.

After installing the addon, you will see a new tab in the right-hand sidebar (press N if it doesn’t show up) called UV Tools. Once you open it, you will see the following two fields:

Standalone Filter Manager Path

The path you saved earlier during the Havok installation is required here. In the Standalone Filter Manager Path field, select the file hctStandAloneFilterManager.exe located inside the folder: Havok\HavokContentTools

Export Path

This is an optional directory where all your project files will be stored. If you don’t specify an export path, the addon will automatically create an export_data folder next to your current Blender project file. Throughout this guide, this folder will be referred to as <export>.

Warning

Your Blender project must be saved somewhere on disk in order for the addon to save setup files and addon functionality.
