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.

For those who could not afford the Big Buck Bunny DVD nor have enough bandwidth to download a 9 GigaBytes ISO, now you can watch a Rigging tutorial made by Nathan Vedghal.

This tutorial does not cover all the complexity of the actual rigs used on the movie, but it has some great tips for both who already knows how to make rigs and for those who are willing to learn to. The upload was made by Ben Dansie on Vimeo. That means you can download the video in higher resolution if you are a registered Vimeo user.

*UPDATE: I am very sorry, but somehow the links stopped working. I am trying to fix this, but for now, you can reach the tutorial by copying and pasting the link below in your browser:

*UPDATE 2: fixed. =)
