Havok Content Tool 2014 1.1+3ds Max 2015 doesn't work.

[Anonymous]

I need 3ds Max 2012 to export my animations, cause Havok Content Tool 2014 1.1+3ds Max 2015 doesn't work fine together.

I didn't find a trial version of 3ds max 2012. Is there any way to get that version of 3ds Max?

Thanks for your time.

No, that version has been retired. However, you should be able to download the 2016, 2017, or 2018 version from the virtual agent and run it as a trial. That way you can upgrade and export the animations.

But 3ds Max 2016, 2017 or 2018 have HCT implemented? Cause what i need is export animation as .hkx format (i'm modding for Skyrim game and thats the type of file that needs).

In that case, you may want to contact your Autodesk Partner Reseller, to ask if they can request a previous version for you. There used to be an way to do this within your Autodesk Account, but Autodesk is phasing it out, but the reseller may be able to get special permission to use and activate your 2014 software.

Another option is to purchase a new contract as a Network (Multi-User) license. These licenses give you access to 2018, 17, 16, 15 & 14 which is 4 version back. It used to be only 3 versions back, but the 2018 release introduced 4 versions which is only available for new subscriptions.

Good luck.
