Hello, Allan. Congratulations for your great work. I also live in Brazil, and I am new to Blender. To me, the weakest links of Blender, undoubtedly a great tool, are:

1. The absolutely poor documentation. Thanks to the “open project” profile of the software, the documentation is not centralized, is inaccurate or based on older versions. And the worst: it’s online.

2. The messy interface. The panels are not totally visible in the bottom; if you resize it you just can’t see the buttons labels.

So, please, more conventional documentation and interface for this great 3d tool!

Thank you.

I’d like to say “Amen” to your wish list. Parametric modeling would open up so many possibilities. Thanks for your vision!

You can actually get Grease Pencil built right into Blender, but you have to compile your own copy from source. After that, you won’t find it in the mode dropdown, it’ll be in the View menu of the “3D View” panel. There may be more hidden goodies in the SVN version so it may be worth the effort of compiling a version yourself

Thanks for this blog. There’s really a lot of useful info to find here.
