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.

2007-Jul-29: The Peach Project blog is now online

Is now online the Peach Project's blog, from Blender Foundation.

This is the second (ever) open movie project and, after it's finished, everyone will have access to the source files for studying. The script will be different from the first one (Elephants Dream) and will have a "cartoony" approach, with fluffy and cute bunnies. ;)

The team is made by very talented Blender artists and programmers from around the world:

Lyubomir Kovachev (Bulgaria)
Sacha “Sago” Goedegebure (Netherlands)
Andy Goralczyk (Germany)
Enrico “EnV” Valenza (Italy)
Nathan “Cessen” Vegdahl (USA)
Brecht van Lommel (Belgium)
Campbell “Ideasman42″ Barton (Australia)
Ton Roosendaal (of course ;D) (Netherlands)

As the first project's blog, this one will be an invaluable source of information on the daily routine of an animation studio.
