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 Genk Research Unit, in the 'Critical reflections of and through animation' cluster. 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.

2008-Apr-26: Blender introduction course TODAY at FLISOL

Yeah, I know that this is VERY near and it was scheduled almost a month ago. Shame on me not to say this before.

Unfortunately I've been with so much work to do these last days that I've been a bit away from blogging.

Fortunately, though, one of these works is a very cool commercial animation that I'll soon show you. =)

So... if you happen to be in Goiânia today (26/04), I'll be giving a short course on Blender at FLISOL (Something like "Latin-American Free Software Instalation Festival"). =)
