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.

A great day for the animation world

The animation world is happier on this day because...

It's my birthday! =D

(yeah... I know... no funny at all... =P)

To bring a bit of usefullness to this post, a BlenderArtists user known as DingTo made available to download the Making Of Big Buck Bunny. It's a 22 minute movie in a 170 MB file. Very good for the ones who didn't buy the DVD nor want to download an ISO image of about 9 GigaBytes. =)
