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.

2008-Oct-13: Done! :)

Man... another month without posting. But now (really) I'm back to regular writing here.

I've finished this week the Animation Personal Trainer with Keith Lango. It was fantastic, and I've learned a lot. Soon I'll bring you more words on it and my final animation, which is rendering right now. :)

While it isn't ready, here goes a cool link about the story of Emud Mokhberi, one of the makers of the fantastic Gobelins short Oktapodi.

Hey guys, thanks! ;)

@Pablo: well, the APT is the most affordable online course on animation that I know. The thing that makes it more expensive for guys like me and you who live in countries with not-so-strong currency is the fact that the payment is in US Dollar. $995.00 USD to be precise. :)
But I will write a post detailing my experience, and I can say in advance that it totally worth it! I even want to save some money to make it again in a near future.
