The way I solved this was by acquiring another model: a cranium that comes in many formats:

I purchased this Maya skeleton:

This is a photograph of the real building:

I am planning to hire an expert, to build a 3D model of the attached building. Since I have a restricted budget (nobody is paying me for this, it is a hobby and sense of duty to my adoptive country)...

Thanks, David!

What is the total number of applications and plugins that I will need?

I am assuming:

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

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...

This is a prototype of my desired scene:

Thanks so much, stwert!

ps: Don't go too far... :-)
