Cinema 4D Reviews & Product Details

quite easy to understand, even my non-graphist coworkers quickly understood how to use it. plus its physical renderer is already quite good.

mograph can be a pain to understand and master.

mechanical design and 3d renders

I like that C4D has absorbed all elements from other programs to create a full software package that can do everything- sculpt, paint, animate, and easily export to compositing software like AE.

C4D does lack some abilities that in depth specific software can create - for example Zbrush is still better for sculpting and AE is still needed to composite shots. C4D would be better if it had more options built into it.

I create sick looking motion gfx and I do it quickly unlike on other programs like Maya that take forever to work in.

I love using this program to create exactly what I want.

It has a few glitches that have erased my work if u didn't save it soon enough.

I have used it to create a scene that I can then use as my reference for drawing.

all the modelling tools, different layouts, sculpture tools and the integration with After Effects

the third party plug in for render, they work pretty good but is expensive as

Easy to use, integrated with my post production software

Cinema 4d is the best 3D software for graphic designers. It is the program for excellence. Nowadays more and more people in the sector are using. Is the best program to create animations in 3d. Has many new characteristics, and gives you a lot of ways to create. Recently it has improved the compatibility with adobe after effects, which makes it the best software to create your own motion graphics. Without doubt the best 3d program for this sector.

Maybe, the way to animate it's complex. Learning is needed to start to do something 'decent'. You need to research a lot of materials.

In my daily life I use Cinema 4D to make animations. I use illustrator to make the illustrations, then I extrude them into 4d cinema and create animations. At first it is not easy, but when you control the program is the best

In comparison to other software like Maya, Cinema4d is easier to use and faster to learn. you will see results with great quality in less than a month.

As any other 3d software, it takes time to learn its interface. The shortcuts can be annoying for somebody moving from other 3d programs.

Motion Design

Cinema 4d is ieasier to use than most of the modeling softwares (such as rhino or sketchup), the interface is basic, even if it exist lot of options. You have a 4 different windows on the main screen, showing you the side of your object ,like in rhino. It's more pleasant and precise to use than sketchup and less difficult as rhino. It's a very nice modelling software for creating curved object which is the major advantage of cine4d for industrial designers. Also it exist lots of tutorial for starters which are great, there is a quite big C4d community.

I dislike the C4d rendering process, which is very complicated, long to use and isn't satisfaying me. I recommand to use an specific rendering software as Keyshot or Maxwell. It's very interresant to use Cinema 4d rendering options for making little video using also After Effect but it's quite complicated too.

With Cinema 4D you can model in 3d even if you'r just starting, I recommand it for industrial designer and animators.

I use Cinema 4D mostly for modeling and texturing. The tools for modeling are intuitive and easy to use. I like the options I have for texturing and lighting. Having multiple views of my model on the viewport (without needing to switch between viewports) lets me work a lot faster.

There's a bit of a learning curve and it's not easy to pick up compared to the Adobe design programs.

3D models made from Cinema 4D look very professional.

Easy to use and to figure out. Mograph module is great for creating animations. Using the "help" actually helps!

Project settings vs. render settings (specially when setting frame rate) is confusing.

I create custom motion graphics for diverse clients in commercial and broadcast design. Using 3D helps create more interesting animations and graphics and Cinema 4D is by far the most user friendly and stable 3d software I've used.

What I like the most about Cinema 4D is the mograph module, that allows really cool animations in no time, It's complete set of tools helps you create anything you can imagine, and along with the xpresso you can rig and connect almost any property giving you endless possibilities. I also find Cinema 4D to be a really intuitive and complete software, Its easy to learn,

I think bodypaint is a bit confusing and you need to spend more time to get the hang of it, and sometimes feels a bit laggy. I feel it really needs an update.

I use Cinema 4D for Motion Graphics animation and since I started using it I quickly realized it is the best tool for this, its mograph and animation tools are really complete and intuitive, they allow you to create amazing stuff.
