How would you implement this fancy scene?

[Travis Banger]

This is a prototype of my desired scene:

I have acquired this Human Skeleton Maya Rigged 3D Model:

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

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

If positive: With a script? With a plugin?

TIA

[Travis Banger]

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 his specialty and I can do some programming?

TIA

Your on the wrong forum. This is a Bullet Physics Forum from what i understand. Your question is about the bullet in Maya which is a closed source implementation and therefore means this a Maya specific question you'd be better off on a Maya forum but if you planning on your own bullet implementation i can tell you exactly how to do this in the Bullet Physics SDK .

I am utterly confused, Johnson. Please go ahead and tell me (us) exactly how to do this.

Thanks!!!

Its quite simple since your fragments are exactly convex use a gimpact collision shape. start the shapes of sleeping and set the bullet as a kinematic body and animate it colliding with the fragments it you cant get the exactly look of it flying away when it collides maybe add some velocity or force as needed.

Thanks, Johnson.

Say... Are you available to be hired? If negative, perhaps know can recommend somebody?

I expect this scene to get lots of hits in YouTube and the authors will get plenty of credit and referrals.

I just sent you an email. Let me know if it went through.

I never got it. That service is not very reliable.

Can you please send it again? Write to my two addresses:

ramon@patriot.net
piotr.mancini@gmail.com

Thanks!

[johnsonalpha]

I sent emails to both. Do you have a skype?

[johnsonalpha]

If you didnt get the email just email me at aqworldjohnsonalpha1@gmail.com

Hi Johnson:

I have never been a fan of Skype. I did get your e-mail in my Google account only.

As soon as I can I am getting rid of that account at patriot.net, since they keep on dropping my e-mails.

Will write directly to you soon...
