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-Jun-13: A great day for the animation world
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. =)
