[hannanshahid]

been working as a motion designer for almost 8 years now and i cannot see myself using anything but cinema4d

[hectorescobar]

Started with Max, then went to Maya, then went to Houdini and now I’m on the Blender train

[BioSoftStudios]

As a 3d artist myself, i actually started with 3ds max for 5 years, but when i changed job and started working in vfx, i had since switched to cinema 4d as the entire studio was using it, and since then, i ordered a perpetual license and i’ve since enjoyed my experience with cinema 4d
Also please do not misunderstand, blender is awesome, i have used it on certain occasions and it has great potential, its just that the tools i regularly use for completing my projects are inside c4d
And remember, there is no such thing as the BEST 3d software, user preference always comes first

[nikolay_khan]

Starting with c4d 4 years ago, still using ❤

[yoshianuragtesla]

Yes, both are great and yeah blender is growing, I'm currently moving with blender i see its improving slowly hoping someday blender will also be a good industry rated software. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO BY THE WAY ❤

I love both Cinema 4D and Blender but I prefer using Cinema 4D since I am using it for many years now.

[MisterRoads]

I would pay almost anything for a perpetual license

[sekaiology]

I started out with C4D when I was younger and switched to Blender later on. This was because the cost of C4D Blender is just not even a competition. Blender is amazing and has it quirks ofcourse, but so does C4D. I tried C4D again last year and was actually kind of lost haha. I am so used to Blender now and just finding great plugins, that I have zero reasons to even try C4D anymore.

Your video is interesting, I use both! 🔥 And I can say Blender for modeling, uv, add-ons fosure makes my life easier. For example, I use Human generator, droplet and the one of the trees and for the car rigg also. And Cinema 4D for animation of cloth physics, simulation, Mograph etc.. Yes, c4d is expensive but as old user of c4d I can't switch definitely to blender cuz depending on which industry of 3d u working for me it's cinema 4d. You just need to find a balance between this two software and make a powerful combo

[legrainproduction]

i'm a 2D motion designer, and i d like to pass to 3D, would you recommand me c4d? i saw that modeling is quiet a pain in c4d. is it doable, to only learn modeling in blender and then doing motion graphics in c4d? or is it a total non sense?

[stevannikolovski]

I choose Blender over Cinema any time for multiple reasons.

[tobiaswiedemann]

straight to the point...love videos with such a strong focus.

[kraney]

Do you have experience on both? if so, how smooth is it switching or transitioning between the two if you were to use both in the same workflow? Like do they have the same shortcuts and buttons for navigations? is the UI placement similar? I want to use C4D as an overall software, but use blender for modelling due to its superior tools

[didododo]

Loved C4D for product renders and animations, but modeling and UVing in C4D is just pure pain for me.

[rano]

C4D is not even anywhere close to blender for polymodeling lol. Same with UI, yeah it's more intuitive, but even, they copied blender's UI and icons 1-1 when R25 came out, take a look at the comments under that video on Maxon's channel. "C4D stands out in volume modeling and parametric modeling?" What are you even smoking, dude? Blender is hands down the best tool for modeling and that includes the parametric modeling with modifiers, and you can get the volume modeling thing in blender too by using the voxel remesh modifier, and it works better than C4D's volume modeller. FYI, no one takes c4d outside mograph community seriously, it's pretty bad for everything except mograph.

[Zartialonytb]

i would choose blender in everything EXCEPT motion graphics cuz C4D has one of the best or the best of the industry !!

[theRunelrd]

Please don't make me pick! This is like mom and dads divorce all over again

[naturesoundup]

Blender with no addons is actually a pacifier, an empty shell

[XmontyVFXx]

Cinema 4d is not an industry standard. A lot of artist use it, but no industry has set it as the standard.

Blender, however, is a standard in animation, video games and visualizations.

[dannyg]

The so-called expert who made this joke of a video, doesn't even know that Cinema 4D comes with Redshift as its main render engine. Unfortunately, Youtube gives the option for any nobody to make videos on serious topics with 0 information or expertize. Pathetic!
