"Difficult to Get Started"
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

I love the outcome of Cinema4d. The work produced with it is stunning and unlike the work created in any other program I've seen before.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

I've tried multiple times to get started over the past few years to get into Cinema 4d. I'm very proficient in the adobe programs and I've been accessing it through after effects. A few years ago, I even had a teacher give our class an introduction. Because I didn't have much need for it then I forgot about it. The past couple days, I've been brushing off the dust and reintroducing myself. It's very hard for a beginner. The program gives no tutorial for beginners so I've been using YouTube videos. I'm following ok, but there's so many little details that I get lost with that make me frustrated. It doesn't seem user friendly to me at all. The interface itself is very dark and intimidating. I'm having trouble understanding what's selected, where to start, what the possibilities are.

What problems is Cinema 4D solving and how is that benefiting you?

Because I can't get past doing basic things, I haven't been able to solve any real problems yet. I'd like to use it for type design, mockups, and other 3D modeling.
