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.

Aardman - The Animals Save the Planet

Aren't those guys at Aardman really awesome?

It amazes me how they make everything so strong, from the ideas to the final animation. =)

The last one I knew about is their series of shorts with some environmental messages for Animal Planet. They are so cool that we can even download them in Quicktime format!

Muito obrigado VirgĂ­lio! Eu gosto Aardman. Have done ever since I saw a clip of the Lion in the original "Creature Comforts". :)
