Some challenges

● No per property or per object callbacks. (have to use “bpy.app.scene_update_pre”)

● Problems with threading / mutiprocessing

● No interactive mode for matplotlib (can only render figures to file)

So what's next?

● Link real motion hardware to Blender Game Engine to visualize system in real-time.

● Extend Blender motion tracker / graph editor for motion ride editing
