Hello guys.

I would really apreciate your help and your opinion here.

I'm from Ecuador (Sudamerica) and I'm 20 years old. I don't know so much about Maya (yet) (I know the basics of modeling and animation). The thing is that today I was in a meeting with the "Ecuatorian Navy". They told me if I could do a couple of simulators. They want me to make a docking simulator for one of their ships.

I was wondering what would it take?
I've never been in a project of this magnitude.

How many computers?
Which Maya to buy?
How much money for the job?

The programming would be in Maya?
Any other option for the programming?

How much time do you think that would you take in a project like this?

Please write as much as you want about this topic.
More info is better for me to understand if I colud do it or not.

Thank you.
