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:

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. :)
