"Easy to use for 3d modelling but very expensive!"
4/5
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Its very easy to use. Many interesting designs can be easily made pretty quickly. Its each variant is streamlined for particular function. You can do almost everything from procedural modeling, animation, texturing, lighting, rendering, polygons. It can be integrated in a work flow that can include Adobe After effects. It will never crash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

Its costs almost or than $700 for a basic license, other variants cost more of upto $3000. It still needs a better workflow. Few things like body paints and UV can be much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive user experience is the main differentiator, can improve modeling capabilities."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

From the first day of use, you identify with cinema4d's intuitive and easy-to-use GUI. This is a great starting point, while other similar software seems confusing, in cinema4d you get a lightweight environment with easily accessible features.

It has fantastic resources for animation, both for beginners and advanced users, in a few minutes you can get interesting effects, especially when learning the Mograph resources. Finishing a render using redshift will complete the experience as it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

Advanced users may miss some modeling features, such as a good retopology tool, the one present in the cinema doesn't work properly and we often prefer not to use it.

Another negative point is the price, very expensive, especially for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"my favorite 3d modeling program"
5/5
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

I like the options it has, the tools allow the user to make complex modeling, animate, and render with the best results without having to use an additional software if prefered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

The interface might not be easy to understand for a beginner in 3D modeling, and the way the layout is set, might make it a little bit complicated when first starting with the program. Also, the mouse shortcuts are different from the rest of the 3D software, it would be nice if they were standarized Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cinema 4D - As Simple or As Complex As You Need"
5/5
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

As a videographer who is constantly searching for cutting edge and fresh motion gfx concepts, the easy pipeline between C4D and Adobe After Effects is perfectly positioned. It's also user-friendly and you'll find plenty of tutorials out there to help you adjust to the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

Honestly, there's not much to dislike. If I had to pick one thing it would be that unwrapping UV's in Cinema 4D is not very intuitive and could use some attention. That said, there are so many other functionalities that make up for the UV deficit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"3D design program with intuitive interface and many professional tools"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Very useful program for 3D design which offers many tools from beginners to professionals, such as the creation of UVs for the environment and contour of the graphics in the form of a board that helps the design of the modeling to transform , the creation of nodal materials when importing, modeling through vertices and animation, which give a full focus on the design, uniting all the aspects that are needed from the import on the map to the transformation in 3D that we want to achieve a spectrum in the which will be easier for us to work on the design from its transformation to the animation of the object Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

Something that would be good to implement in the program is the cooperative work mode in which many users could work on the same design, which would save us a lot of work time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most powerful tool to bring your graphics to life within easy reach."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Cinema 4D has become a very important tool for graphic designers of

today, as it is distinguished by its innovation, high customization capacity and easy

usability.

The service is distinguished by providing access through computers and Mac.

It has very useful functions such as its image editor, drag and drop, templates,

animations, 2D drawings, among other functions that allow high quality work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

The price of this service is extremely expensive, so it is necessary for people to have a large budget.

I believe that it is necessary to implement more documentation to help new users who acquire the service to learn more easily how the software works and thus be able to give it a more appropriate use from the beginning.

Sometimes the operation of the interface of this software has slowed down for a few seconds, I consider that it is a failure of which corrections must be made since it becomes something

quite uncomfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whether you're doing Motion Graphics or VFX, Cinema 4D is for you"
5/5
What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Compared to other 3D programs I've used, Cinema 4D's user interface is much easier to get around in. The menu system is organized well and I spend less time looking for tools than I do in programs like Maya. Cinema 4D is my go to software for 3D motion graphics. The camera tracker is top notch in cinema, it has solved scenes I have struggled to get results from both Nuke and Boujou before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

I prefer the physics solver in other softwares like Maya and Houdini, but Cinema's systems have improved greatly since when I first started messing around with it in 2013. For any sort of simulation I go to Houdini. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
