This is a prototype of my desired scene:

I have acquired this Maya Rigged 3D Model:

Being a total newbie, I will have to hire a professional.

Best Practices:
Is this something that should be done with Maya + Bullet Physics?

If positive: With a script? With a plugin?

TIA

I should add that I am a software engineer, with 25 years experience. Took a graduate-level class of Computer Graphics in college. I am familiar with 3D transforms.

Perhaps the hired artist can work on some stuff and I can do some programming?

There is a short video I did will give you the basics on how to smash stuff in Maya
Hope it helps

I am assuming:

- Maya
- Bullet Physics (open source? proprietary?)
- Soap

Is that correct? Can you (or any expert out there) explain the relationship between those different software parts?

TIA
