Hello, my friends! Here is the first podcast experiment with Vinicius Mantovani Favero.

Working at Industrial Light & Magic as a Creature Modeler, Vinicius talks about his trajectory in the industry, his current position at ILM, and his vision of the future.

Artificial intelligence, Virtual Reality, and Realtime Engines are a few of the topics we discuss, trying to figure out the future of the artists and skills in this industry!

Let me know how you feel about it :)

Special thanks to Vinicius for participating in this first episode, it was awesome!!

Hello guys! Testing this new live link technology in Unreal Engine to understand limitations and possible applications.

This is a blendshape rig with 52 shapes based on the Apple ArKit.

How do you feel about this tech, is it something you would use?

Have a good one guys

Here is a video describing how I got fired during COVID-19, and the three things that helped me recover from the hit.

Hello guys! 

On the sessions below I'm figuring out the mouth system, doing a variety of tests, and some progress was made.

I'm also explaining as much as possible about the facial muscle system and the way the muscles interact on the mouth :)

This is a longer session on the development of a few muscles.

Have a good one my friends, and stay safe! :)

The 8 Basic Emotions - According to Dr. Paul Ekman

Hello, my friends! Hope you're all great :) 
-

Here goes some bits of info:

The 8 basic emotions are equal to every human being alive, and can be recognized in any culture. They are triggered be specific sets of muscles, and are always the same.
-

They can also be combine, and frequntly appear in the form of micro-expressions, and although hard to identify for the untrained eye, they can tell a lot, if not most, of whats going on in our emotional minds.
-

The theory first started to be developed by Charles freaking Darwing!! And was further developed by Dr. Paul Ekman, among others.

Thank you all so much for the support on the recent publications, I have learned so much from the comments and suggestions from so many professionals in the industry!
