would you please be so kind a give the Windows version of minicrypt
a quick spin. https://github.com/706f6c6c7578/minicrypt/releases

Well, I am busy right now on rigging bones and animation wrt porting my
C++ work over to Python 3 and Blender. I have a completely rigged field,
but I need to learn how to create keyframes for an animation in Blender.
Fwiw, here is a little test. It has bones all setup. I just need to
learn how to animate the little bastard!

 Deal, I will watch your animation test once you have tried out minicrypt.

Okay. Fwiw, the thing that scares me a bit is how bloated Blender seems to be. It starts off fine, then over several tests, it gets slower and slower. Garbage collector? Not sure. The animation test in Blender is going to be a bitch, but I want to get it done for another project. At least I have fully rigged field models. Now, I know how to get real time fields using geometry shaders and/or using instancing in the GPU for my opengl 3d engine. Fwiw, here is an older animation using some MIDI music of mine:

Humm... Not exactly sure if this is going to work real time dynamically for a rigged model. But, I just want to see if I can do it in Blender. Having a bunch of rigged animation poses, well... Humm...
