Thanks for that. Also, creating weighted bones for animation... Very 
fun. Actually, I need to get back into my python code I created for 
blender. Fwiw it generated the following fractal:

Python and Blender = Pretty Cool!

:^)

Iirc, my code created the fractal out of a bunch of objects, then I 
condensed all of them into a single mesh. A single object instead of 
multiple objects. Pretty cool. Blender is nice. Mixed with python as a 
quick scripting language for it is even better. I don't not necessarily 
like python, but I will gladly use it in Blender.
