What Eike’s Students are Saying
Learned a Lot in Such a Short Time
Eike Hoppmann was an amazing mentor. Not only in the things he teaches in class, but being open to talk about the industry we’re excited to be working in. His feedback is very helpful and I’ve learned a lot in such a short time.
Professional and Willing to Solve All Kinds of Questions
He takes all the time to teach us with movie video examples, I think this is really cool, and then creates an example in Maya that covers all the ideas for the current week. For times when we are struggling to do a specific task, he offers us review during class, which is really helpful. Also something I want to mention is his attitude in general is 100% professional and willing to solve all kinds of questions. Also the reviews are very detailed and helpful. I am very happy with this course.
