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:

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-15: Otto with masks by Cesio

Maybe you remember when I posted about that great script for intuitive rigs in Blender.

The developer of this script, known as cesio in the forums, now made another very cool thing: he applied his script into my rig Otto!

Take a look at this:


Otto with masks from Leandro Inocencio on Vimeo.

I'm planning to release a 2.0 Otto version sometime soon. If possible, I think it would be interesting to leave the script as an option for the user.

Along with that, I will add some great contributions to the rig made by Christian, AKA seabee in the forums (take a look at some cool animations made by him) and some needed features like IK/FK switching. :)
