About

I'm an Animation Professor at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk, Belgium. I teach at the Re:Anima Joint Master in Animation and I'm a senior researcher at the Inter-Actions Research Unit. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation. Previously, I was an Animation Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil. MFA and PhD by the Graduate Program in Arts at EBA/UFMG. I'm also a free software advocate, animator, rigger and I also like to code. You can see some of my works and know a bit more about me at:

Blender Animation Book

I've written a book about Rigging and Animation in Blender for Packt Publishing. You can get the files here.

Old Blog

Yes, I had a blog. Haven't updated it since 2011. Anyway, if you need something from there I have kept backwards compatibility and you can read it below.

Rendering and Modeling With Blender

I've been following for a while two of the (IMHO) most important Blender resources around: Rendering With Blender and Modeling With Blender.

Those videos are the material used by professor Claas Kuhnen on his Product Design classes at Kendall College, and show some very important concepts and Blender techniques.

Besides its focus on Product Design, those concepts and techniques can and should be used in other fields, such as animation or architectural visualization. Whether you are an experienced user or a novice one, I'm sure there are some good things to be learned from those videos.

The links for these resources are already on my favorite list on the right side.
