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.

Design.exe

I had to take a little break from the loads of work to give some attention to this blog, :)

Tomorrow I'll fly to Londrina, to give a lecture on Animation, 3D and Free Software at Design.exe. I'm very honored to be listed among such talented people, and I want to thank everyone at Unopar and specially Mango Jambo, from Oniria, for suggesting my name. I'll be very happy to finally meet him in person. :D

Another great Blender artist I met recently was Cícero Moraes, who came to Goiânia to give a great lecture at Flisol. :)

And among the lots of things that have keeping me busy these days is my second Animation Personal Trainer session with the great animator/teacher Keith Lango. As soon as I finish it I'll post my results.

See you guys next post. ;)
