It's a challenge to get through the first step, and I'm greeted with a wall of text...
(Oops, looks like OP changed the image...)

somehow this is too big for my reader
edit: image got changed

ok, I know what I got, but know I need some tool to help me as this would be way to much work to do by hand

Okay, I did step 1, and understand the format of step 2, but it errors out or crashes every program I've used on it. Any tips or preferred program (that is free or has a trial period)?

Works in Blender ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You can also modify it to make it work on other programs

Blender won't even open for me. :( I'll have to wait until after work to troubleshoot.

Okay, got Blender working. It worked smoothly after that. But it seems I'm missing something at the beginning. Hmm.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well the blender suggestion got me further (did not recognize the format; I've also never had to install a program to solve a puzzle ;p), and I have it imported (after figuring out the format from a somewhat limited set), but I'm not sure what to do now. I thought maybe there would be a code or something, but even expanding it in different ways doesn't reveal anything (as far as I can tell)... Hopefully that not revealing too much or asking too much... If you want to reply 'elsewhere', that's fine with me ;)

Use the numpad to change the view. That's the easiest way to look at it from different angles, I found.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh man - I tried looking at it from different views, but hadn't found the right one yet. Now I know a little more about Blender. Thanks ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
And... that apparently didn't help as much as I thought. Oh, well - not my day I guess >_<

Happy not-first birthday! Working on the puzzle...

Now this seems to be right up my alley. :) Bump for starting.

Bump
i was interested, but i don't know how to use blender...
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe some hint about how to use Blender? It was my first time using it, and I had to mess around with it a bit to identify the function I need.
Comment has been collapsed.
I believe I got what I needed from Blender but haven't yet figured out what to do with it. I've tried a few things but surely it's not too hard?
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess it's not too hard, it just took me a little bit of time to figure out.

Bump for getting past the blender step. Still looking for a missing part now.

First reply here decides what hint should be about ʕ ͡·ᴥ ͡· ʔ

Same error. The +1 was in reply to your previous post. Thus my reply is at the same nested level as Ryptun's reply. Apologies for the confusion.

I've tried a bunch of things, sometimes I get a different error.
Please Provide Base64 Encoded value Failed to Decrypt..

it worked with blender, but I tried 3 different tools before that couldn't read the file as they said it was corrupted

How about a hint on how the 'text message to decrypt' is hidden in the first image.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just follow the hint (or don't and try different animal names...) - it is the last step. Otherwise it would be as good as giving the link directly :)

How the 'text message to decrypt' is hidden in the first image?
Comment has been collapsed.
RSA does not work this way, it is an asymmetric encryption process, you encode with a public key (which we don't have - and don't need) and you decode with a private key. It works with the website key because you have both keys on screen at the same time.
There are several entries on the GAs, so Ryptun's key is good.

Bump for ༼⌐■ل͜■༽'s first puzzle and not first birthday and solved. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, still not sure why some of the things I did worked but have a bump for solved :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump. for solved. It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. For me, the insanity induced by this puzzle could be defined as having the right thing in mind but using the wrong program at every step.
Thanks for the challenge and Happy (not first) Cakeday!
