What is Cinema 4D?

First released commercially in 1993 on the Amiga platform, Cinema 4D debuted on macOS and Windows in 1996. In 2000, BodyPaint 3D followed, an innovative 3D painting application available as an integrated part of Cinema 4D or as a standalone product for use with other 3D applications. Now in its 13th release some 17 years later, Cinema 4D has always been known for powerful features, rock-solid stability, ease-of-use and fast workflow. Close relationships to hardware manufacturers like Intel and Apple guarantee optimized products that follow the pulse of technology closely. There has been a major feature-packed release of Cinema 4D almost every year since its creation. Despite this rapid development speed, stability remains excellent for the product. MAXON's experienced programming team is still headed by Cinema 4D's original programmers, who ensure that all new features stay true to their aims from day one of power, speed, stability and ease-of-use.

I have been using Cinema 4D for almost a decade now, and find it robust, easy to use and amazingly flexible. The guys at Adobe have a lot to learn from the simple interface and customization of palettes. With After Effects alongside, I have a complete toolset and streamlined workflow that Im proud of.

One of the biggest things that made me choose Cinema 4D over the others is the pace of development. Maxon has been pushing out revolutionary features with every release. That and the workflow is soooo intuitive.

What is Cinema 4D? It is badass 3D Software.

[TheFreshWonders]

It can be boring learning the basics at first but when you're progressing, meaning you can pretty much model quite a lot of things then you'll get into it

[spacesae]

im with Blender... and i still cant get pass the Tea cup tutorial.

I LOVE Cinema 4D. While it is easier to use than Maya and 3DS Max, not everyone would be willing to put in the effort to learn this beast of a software. I am taking online classes for it and it's awesome.

From 3D Programs. My Best 3D Program Is Cinema 4D. I Want To Learn This Program Like Professional So Much :)

[LOLGotYerTags]

I agree with the sentiment that it's vastly expensive.

I mean, If you're going to sell software at over £2, 000 for the full thing, Perhaps you guys should add a finance option where your licence is intact and valid until payment is complete, If the user stops paying the installments.. You can just deactivate their licence.

As of right now, I don't think anybody can justify spending that kind of cash outright for software they will only use occasionally.

you didn't answer the question: WHAT IS CINEMA 4D?

I am giving this software to my friend for her birthday I cannot wait.

What is cinema 4d? its a fantastic programm!!! thanks.maxon

Maya and 3ds max are programs that are designed to be extremely expandable. It will take a wile to learn to use them but they are very powerful applications that are used for tackling extremely tough challenges. In the transformers movie, special scripts had to be written to rig the characters well. C4D Is awesome because you can learn it quickly, anything you dont know is literally a right click away. It lets anyone do lighting, animation and more. Not to mention great compatibility with AE!

[SafirAksel]

How the hell did they created stuffs like that. Every time i use cinema 4d it ends up like a potato :/

[ronaldoist]

I was a 3ds max user, I use still but not as much as c4d, c4d is easier and fast and you can get good results, I think people gripe about it because its mostly used for motion graphics, it has a long way to go to catch up with max or maya but it will get there, it is really awesome.

[asdsaksa]

they should teach us this at school not math and that bullshit

[JonnyBravo]

The video say's it all. Cinema 4d is the most artist friendly, world class, 3d application out there. Its tight integration with After Effects makes C4D a superior solution for broadcast production. I love it a little more each time I use it.

[kikih]

O.O J'ai jamais été autant impressionné de toute ma vie ! Tout simplement MAGNIFIQUE ! Bravo !

[kingdavidrusingiza]

cinema 4d is an advanced software with a powerful window to another world of creation

[Galavya]

You can enroll in an animation/vfx school, but i guess it will be an expensive option ..the other option is to invest in tutorial DVDs and Books..I am not into C4d but I learned 3DSMax and After Effects via Books and lecture videos. Lynda and Digital tutors are great places for ordering the videos and of course Amazon is the best place for instructional books.

El Mejor programa con que e trabajado...Gracias MAXON!!!!
