Testimonials

Erwin created and hosted the Houdini Core Masterclass. It was thorough, nearly 40 hours long. It built systems that could be used in our production and contained knowledge and practices that I could not find anywhere else online.

It also had homework assignments to make sure the topic was understood before moving on to the next lessons. It felt like a treasure chest of knowledge that gives Ubisoft employees an advantage over other companies.

After 40 hours of training, I spent roughly 80 additional hours refining the system at home.

It beat all the other paid expensive Houdini courses for sure.
Christian M.Technical Artist
Accidentally I found a Master Class in Houdini made by Erwin. After I went through the first lessons I realized that he's able to transmit the knowledge in an understandable way.

When I was blocked, I contacted him and he responded He had patience to explain everything in detail, to make sure that I understood and I can continue from that point on my own.

Great mind, great character.

I recommend him as a tutor due to his strong pedagogic skills that has proven over the classes ! I recommend him as a co-worker due to his ability work in a team, with the team.
