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.

2010-Mar-24: Tennis class

This was the exercise made for yesterday's class of Character Animation at PUC Minas. The goal of it was to show the animation principles applied in a rigged character (a preview of Otto 2, to be released as soon as I add a few more features and finish bug hunting): the use of reference footage, creation of Extreme and Breakdown poses, Timing, Arcs, Weight Shift and Anticipation.

It was also meant to demonstrate a simple audio/video editing within Blender Video Sequence Editor to add audio and postpro effects (the crack in the glass).

You can download all the files for this exercise here.
