*What's it all about*
---------------------------
In this series I'll present at least twice a month new and (hopefully) useful features for all of you outside the Blender 3D development universe... all those features are brand new and are available in the official Blender version 2.74.

Greetings to all of you and thanks for all the encouraging comments and shares!
