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:

2007-Oct-30: Crash course on Blender at IV Forum Goiano de Sofware Livre

Today my post is just to tell that the crash course on Blender I gave on EITM - IV Forum de Software Livre (Local Free Software Forum) was really cool!

This was the fifth time in a row that I presented something Blender-related on a local Free Softare event. It's always good to see people from the past events and also to notice that a lot of new people are interested both on Free Software and Blender. Congrats on the organization for this awesome event!

The course was pretty short, and the intention was to present the capabilities of this awesome tool. I'll be sending a cool selection of links and docs to all who have participated (but write me, because I don't have everyone's e-mail addresses!)
