  • Users report that Cinema 4D excels in rendering capabilities, particularly with its "Exterior Rendering" feature rated at 9.3, which reviewers mention provides stunning visual quality for outdoor scenes. In contrast, iClone's rendering capabilities, while strong, do not reach the same level of detail, particularly in "Aerial Rendering" rated at 8.7.
  • Reviewers mention that Cinema 4D's "Ease of Setup" is rated at 8.8, making it user-friendly for beginners, while iClone's setup is rated lower at 7.0, indicating a steeper learning curve for new users.
  • G2 users highlight Cinema 4D's superior "Effects" capabilities with a rating of 9.0, which allows for more dynamic and visually appealing animations. In comparison, iClone's effects are not as robust, leading to less impressive results in complex scenes.
  • Users on G2 report that Cinema 4D has a more extensive "Template Library" rated at 7.8, which provides a variety of starting points for projects. iClone, however, lacks in this area, making it harder for users to find pre-made assets to jumpstart their work.
  • Reviewers mention that Cinema 4D's "Quality of Support" is rated at 8.4, indicating a reliable support system for users. In contrast, iClone's support is slightly lower at 8.3, which may affect users who require assistance during their projects.
  • Users say that Cinema 4D's "Generative AI" features, particularly in "AI Text-to-3D," are more advanced compared to iClone, which has a more limited offering in this area. This makes Cinema 4D a better choice for users looking to leverage AI in their creative processes.
