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:

2008-Nov-01: Pepeland's way of using Blender

Daniel Martinez Lara, widely known as Pepeland, has made some changes in the default Blender UI layout and made it available for download.

It is important to notice that these are not structural changes. Everything he made was using the native customization capabilities of Blender. This UI layout makes Blender a bit more familiar for the ones used to the 3DSMax interface.

Take a look at the video below, where he uses Blender with this custom layout, showing a great modification of Suzanne and also dealing with a niiiice animation made by him on the Video Sequence Editor. That's a guy who knows what he's doing... ;)

Yes, Daniel knows very well the tips and the practicality of the 3D tools and he's take advantage of that in the animations.

It's a really nice animation. And the use of Grease Pencil is also great.

Talking about interface, have you seen the UI Willian presented in BConference?

Probably Blender 2.50 will follow something in this direction:
