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 it. It is the best program to create animations in 3D. It has many new characteristics and gives you a lot of ways to create. Recently, it has improved compatibility with Adobe After Effects, which makes it the best software to create your own motion graphics. Without a doubt, the best 3D program for this sector.

Maybe, the way to animate is complex. Learning is needed to start doing something 'decent'. You need to research a lot of materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love using this program to create exactly what I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a few glitches that have erased my work if u didn't save it soon enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's the best tool to integrate 3d elements in motion graphics work in After Effects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

keyframing and the timeline could be a bit more intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it is a very fast software for rendering and motion graphics effects, easy to use, and you don't need to know everything about it to get interesting results quickly. GI, it's very powerful, flexible, and fast. Help & support is really easy and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not find polygonal modeling in C4D very easy; it's cumbersome and unintuitive. Another thing I find annoying is that Move (E), Rotate (R), and Scale (T) are shifted compared to all other 3D software (Maya, 3DSMAX, SO, UNITY, UNREAL) where it's Move (W), Rotate (E), and Scale (R).

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any other 3D software, it takes time to learn its interface. The shortcuts can be annoying for someone moving from other 3D programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinema 4D is unbelievably powerful and also a very stable platform. You can use it for everything from creating simple mock-ups to full scale 3D productions. It is far more accessible than most 3D software and is constantly striving to improve itself. I love the support and amount of community that has built up around, it seems there is a tutorial for everything to do with Cinema 4D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, despite being much better than some 3D software the interface and options can still be a bit daunting. Though I am not sure right now how to suggest a solution. The fact that a whole piece of design can fail to work simply because you have not checked a single box can be a real pain. Also, the integration with the Arnold renderer needs some work as this causes my version to crash quite a lot.

One other thing, is that as Maxon update the software quite extensively with each new iteration, many tutorials become confusing quickly. For example whole areas of the interface completely change, so it can be quite challenging working out how to make things work with the new tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how C4D speeds up my workflow from selecting simple basic shapes to modding and changing complex shapes and the fast and simple rendering previews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takes some time to get the objects properties right, but it's common place with all 3D software, but took me a while to accommodate to C4D interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinema 4D is very versatile and has plenty of functions. It can fulfill the needs of someone who needs to animate a scene with various moving objects such as characters, environments and much more, to someone who simply needs some 3D text with lighting. Another awesome feature is how open the program is to importing and exporting various types of files, an issue other programs often have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program is not too user friendly and a lot of time is necessary to fully understand how a lot of the things work even though a very extensive manual is available for the various iterations of the program itself. The program itself is also extremely expensive for most people, which is why I recommend using a program (one very similar to Cinema 4D) called Blender for as long as possible.

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, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
