Save Blender frames to file for later, standalone use (and improve performance while I'm at it) about osci-render HOT 6 CLOSED

Blender side's done, working on the osci-render side. My idea is to use the ObjectSet class with a file parser rather than with the ObjectServer, which shouldn't be too difficult. Of course, we all know how that often goes lol

Luckily there's a Java library for reading the RIFF format so I don't have to write that.

This makes sense to me and completely agree that moving away from JSON is the right thing to do - I was aware of this when implementing but decided to go with the simple solution at first but now it's stable it makes sense to optimise a bit!

All right, I've got a RIFF writer module coded for the Python side! I just need to integrate it into the Blender plugin and I'll have the saving side done. I coded the library to be useful for other things as well, it can be found in the PyRiff repo.

Also, at least in the benchmark I wrote, PyRiff is quite fast. Running on its own it can generate and write out a decently complex file with a number of different chunks in about 200 microseconds, or roughly 5000 times per second.
