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.

Every once in a while the folks at Animation Mentor release some pretty cool e-books, like the ones from the "Tips & Tricks" series by Shawn Kelly.

Case you haven't seen, there's a new one available: How to Become an Animator

After a quick reading, I saw there's some neat things like the description of common job titles in the industry and a pretty good book recommendation list.

Along this e-book also comes a little "gift": an industry survey made with students and professionals, to help you choose the best way to go on the animation field.

Recommended readings! :)
