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.

2008-May-27: Open Movies are starting to pop around
Open Movies are starting to pop around

After Blender Foundation's projects Orange and Peach as pioneers among Open Movies, this idea seems to be spreading around. =)

I heard about some open movie projects being made, and even I am making my own (I know... it's taking longer than expected, but I'm still working on it).

Now I just read about a new Open Movie project. This is being made here in Brazil, and it is looking very promising. There are seven artists working on it, and you can read more about them and their project at the official production blog: The Detail Library. =)
