Full Artistic Control
Havok Cloth empowers you with complete control over your cloth simulation, allowing you to create a diverse range of assets tailored to your gameās needs. Each asset can be finely tuned down to individual vertices for optimal behavior and performance. With automatic LOD transitions, you can quickly optimize assets across different platforms, ensuring seamless performance.
Flexible Asset Pipeline
Streamline your workflow with Havok Clothās flexible asset pipeline. Create custom wizards to simplify the creation of similar assets and use scriptable Cloth setups to enhance automation. This adaptability is perfect for integrating outsourced assets and fitting into your unique development process. Full source access to the Cloth Setup Tool and runtime ensures maximum integration and flexibility.
Immersive Worlds
Bring your game world to life with Havok Clothās advanced features. Layered Cloth enables intricate clothing designs without the cost of full cloth-cloth collision detection, while Rigid Attachments add secondary motion to characters through their accessories and equipment. All Cloth simulations interact seamlessly with the existing physics world, creating a fully immersive experience. Character Customization allows you to use a single cloth asset for characters of varying scales, and it can be made accessible for custom character creation by players.
Artifact Resolution
Ensure the highest quality with Havok Clothās artifact resolution capabilities. Detect and resolve situations where cloth assets are pinched or pushing into static geometry. Take control over your Cloth to resolve stuck assets effectively by defining collidable sidedness or ignoring certain collisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Havok Physics for Havok Cloth to work?
No. Havok Cloth is a standalone tool that can handle a level of physics collisions independently and will work with whatever physics system you use. If Havok Physics is used in the project the two products will work together for even better performance, but this is not required.
Iām struggling to get the behavior I want out of my current Cloth solution, how can Havok Cloth help?
Havok Cloth is built for fine grain artistic control. Our tools are flexible to adapt to your use cases and allow you to tweak your cloth down to the individual vertices. This flexibility also allows you to create a custom workflow, so once you find your desired behavior you can recreate it with ease.
Does Havok Cloth work with Unreal Engine?
Yes. All Havok products have Unreal Engine integrations. We first supported Havok Physics for Unreal in Unreal Engine Version 3 and added Havok Cloth for Unreal in Unreal Engine version 4.11.
Since Havok Cloth is a standalone tool it can move with you to any new engine, so moving your assets from a custom in-house engine to Unreal Engine is a matter of adding 1 UE specific filter to the export pipeline.

How is Havok Cloth supported?
Havok Cloth is fully production ready and fully supported. Havok Engineers are available to help with implementation and problems solving, and we provide full documentation for the entire product.
My game has character creation. How can I make dynamic cloth setups based on player settings?
Since Havok 2023.1 we have supported adjusting cloth setups at runtime. This allows you to author a cloth setup and provide parameters at a later point at runtime to support characters of varying dimensions.
What can Havok Cloth do other than clothes?
Cloth simulation is named after the most common use case: clothing. But the same principles and technology can be used in many different areas of a game. Havok Cloth is used to create secondary motion and to enhance any object that āflowsā. This can be grass, trees, hair, tassels, earrings, and fur, as well as soft bodies like balloons and bellies.
