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.

If you're in a desperate need for high quality HDR images for a commercial work, I think it's worth a look at HDRI-locations.com.

This is run by the known artist Thomas Suurland, who offers some good free resources on his personal site. By the quality of his personal works, I believe his HDR maps may be on the same level.

I don't have any affiliation with him or his image-selling website. I just think that's cool to have an artist-driven resource for other artists who need to make commercial works.
