StartFragment "Let's see an example of a problem." - I was not expecting this. The theatre was full, people sitting on the floor, and more were still coming in. Ton Roosendaal, the founder of Blender, was getting ready for his opening speech. When he started, three main ideas came out: change, diversity and quality. Blender must be able to respond to an evolving world, be able to face the challenges set in game design, in films or in science. And it is must do that at the sa

Although interested and curious about almost everything that shines - regarding animation and illustration, of course, I have to say that I don't have the time to check on everything that is hapenning all over the world. Today, I've found this website streetanatomy.com which combines several artistic areas in one website. My special attention was directed at the amazing work on Organ Armor created by studio Viaframe. #links

Hello all, Since I'm just starting this adventure I tought I could take you with me, from the beginning. If you're interested, that is... At the moment my skills with 3D graphics or animation are limited. Due to the extensive time consumption associated to a phd, I haven't really had the time or "peace of mind" necessary to venture into anything else. Some of you may relate to this... So, the workshop I did with Janet was a long time ago. Those insights were pratically forgot

Back in 2010, in Porto (Portugal), I had the wonderful opportunity to take a fascinating workshop with Janet Iwasa. There I began to see how we could transform proteins into actors, stars of a new (at least to me) "Hollywood". And how we could be directors, producers, make-up artists, the list goes on... So, after some hesitations I decided to venture into this new world. The first step on my journey was to create this website. Here I would like to share with you my fascinati
