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.

2010-Sep-24: Belo Horizonte

A long time without posting here, but there's a fair reason for it:

Three weeks ago I've moved from Goiânia to Belo Horizonte, because I've been selected as the new Professor of digital 2D and 3D animation at UFMG! :)

My classes will only begin next year, but I've also took a good opportunity in my other job to assume a new position here in Belo Horizonte. So, there's been a lot of things related to finding a new place, rent and everything else. Only today my ISP managed to install an internet access at home, so now my online life comes back to normal.

Besides that, my book on animation and rigging with Blender 2.5 is progressing well, but the final text will be delivered only in January. That means I still have a lot of work to do, but I'll keep you informed about it.

Soon I'll bring more useful posts here! ;)
