...Ralf was part of the animation team at nhb when I was Head of Animation. He is the definition of a Senior artist. He is calm and secure in his work and is always ready to do anything to achieve a great result on a project. I wish one day to be as versatile and good as my craft as Ralf is. It would be great to be a part of a team with him again and I'm sure it will happen...
...Ralf is a "go to person" and a great team player. His professional experience and his well rounded knowledge in the field of rendering and modeling will make him a valuable asset to any team, especially with respect to his problem solving skills and his ability to think outside the box. I would be happy to work with him again and recommend him highly...
