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.

Hibernation

Dear God! This blog was in hibernation mode!

The last time I wrote here was just after Christmas... A lot of explanations can be told about this, and all of them involve both the words "work" and "laziness".

Let's just assume this blog was recharging its batteries to bring some cool news in 2010. ;)

Among those there is the fact I'm the new professor of Character Animation at the Post-graduation program in Digital Games at PUC Minas! Next monday I'll fly to Belo Horizonte to the first classes, and we'll use Blender - of course. :)

I've seen some cool things to share with you here, and I'll show them in a gradual way in other posts so they get the attention they deserve. The first is this amazing Vimeo channel filled only with reference videos for animators. There you'll find precious pieces like this one below. This really should become a new bookmark for everyone:

See you in the next post. I promise I would not take so long this time.
