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.

And finally we can watch the teaser of the very awaited James Cameron upcoming film, which promises nothing less than a revolution in digital effects:

Also available in HD version at Apple's website.

What do you think? :)

Really impressive. Nevertheless there is something weird about the CG characters. I think they don't fit well with the environment in my humble opinion. I think Durian is going to kick Cameron's ass :-D

It seems like I'm not the only one disappointed with the characters design on this one:
