What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

It can get resource-heavy on bigger scenes, and the render times can be long unless you use external renderers. The subscription cost is also on the higher side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cinema4d for 3D Motion Graphics"
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Layer based feature made it more easy for me as my background and experience is on Adobe After Effects. It is very handy when it comes create elements and use it for motion graphics. Lighting and Texturing is easy also you can find lighting prebuilt setup and texture for your elements and scene. Creating texture is also easy. You can easy create model or bring prebuilt models to implement it in your animation. Implementing the model to animation is easy. You can easily integrate your animation with other software like after effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

Beginers without experience may find difficult to use. Need proper knowledge of 3d modeling, lighting and textureing. Need proper knowledge of animation principles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good modelling software but"
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Cinema 4D is very intuitive, easy to use and there are a lot of videos and tutorials that can help and show how to start and also to advance, becoming as skilled as you want.

It is also easy to use (I used on Windows) and the installation process is straight forward.

You can create 3d models starting from shapes, sculpt, modify the shape, create textures and materials. Whatever you need, is embedded in the software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

As a drawback, it should be said that there are other softwares that allow you to create 3D models that are free and can give more or less the same capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"While expensive, it’s the industry standard for a reason."
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Maxon has evolved Cinema 4D into the leading 3D Modeling software for a reason. Not only is it capable of creating incredible 3D scenes, but the physics it’s able to recreate as well as the dynamic and photorealistic rendering (with added plugins,) it can render our… Its incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

The price point is ridiculous. Especially when Blender, an open source freeware, is almost, if not just as robust and good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hands in experience on working in C4D from past 5 Years"
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Cinema 4D is most User friendly 3D software.

The best part of C4D is it's MoGraph and Dynamics. It is way too easy than other 3D softwares. compare to 3DS Max and Maya, Cinema 4D is more fast and Easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

Cinema 4D has very less to Dislike though but if asked I think It need to work more on VFX pipeline as it's working more on motion graphics but have compositing and tracking options also in c4d which need to be more developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This is the go to product for all your motion graphics & solid surface modeling needs."
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

As a power user of this software since R15 - this is hands down the best software package for all things motion graphics, to creating and preparing lightweight solid & organic models for interactive / AR / VR experiences. Along with valuable software integrations and plugins, C4D will be the best tool for an agile visual graphics workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

What I dislike the most about C4D is how Maxon has changed their pricing to a subscription model as of 2019(?) for new releases - it doesn't impact my day to day work too much, but I miss the days when perpetual licenses were a thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
