What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Cinema 4D has impressive tools, especially for animation. But what first caught me was the clean and visually comfortable work environment. You can spend hours working on your 3d project without getting tired, inside Cinema 4D it's a pleasant activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

The modeling tools are good enough but they can improve, especially retopology. If you need a quick and automated solution to retopology your model, it can be complicated with the tools available in Cinema 4D alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cinema 4D:

You'll be amazed at the working environment inside Cinema 4d. For beginners to the 3D world and advanced users alike, you should consider taking a test drive today! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinema 4D solving and how is that benefiting you?

I feel comfortable in Cinema 4D from the first day of use, its intuitive interface makes the tools easy to access and provides a smooth workflow. I create animations daily where it requires several hours of work, and it doesn't make me tired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Great product tho model, render and animate. Has an excellent own render engine. And if combined with other render engines (like Vray), great quality can be achieved!! And it also runs in Windows and Mac, so it's hard to have compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

Not so many plugins and materials existing in comparison with 3DS Max and Maya. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cinema 4D:

Great software, easy interface, very good render and animation quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinema 4D solving and how is that benefiting you?

No business problems. As a benefit I can distinguish the compatibility of Operative Systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

Things that I like about Cinema 4D are

1. It is straightforward to learn

2. The viewport can be configured according to other applications like 3Ds Max

3. The tools are modeling friendly

4. It is very well equipped and loaded with most of the tools and features for 3d graphics

5. Easy to export files to other formats

6. It has a built-in render farm (team Render)

7. It is super stabl Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

1. It is super expensive

2. Bodypainting and UV Texture editing needs to improve

3. Render output is not as good as other Softwares

4. It crashes in heavy scenes

5. Not suitable for developing interactive animation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cinema 4D:

It is an exceptional application for 3d modeling. It has unmatched capabilities in certain areas, and simulations are a big plus.

It is known to be the easiest and friendliest 3d software for beginners.

My recommendation to the users, they can play with the procedural and polygonal modeling, rendering, lighting, texturing, animation and rigging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinema 4D solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cinema 4D is a very easy yet advanced 3D Modeling and simulation application. However, it is very useful in 3d modeling but has a few problems when it comes to pricing the software, texturing UVs, animations, and rigging the model. It is hard to integrate with games.

What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

The tools in Cinema 4D can be used for a wide range of 3D applications. Users of the program can create basic to complex models quickly, regardless of their experience level. This program not only simplifies modeling, but also adds lighting, textures, and animation. If you would like to create a photorealistic image or a cartoon, this program can help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

In spite of decades on the market, there is still a lack of training material for this software. As a program, C4D is capable of so many things and has many bells and whistles. We need tutorials that cover every aspect of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinema 4D solving and how is that benefiting you?

The range of projects we work on using Cinema 4D includes illustration, video, and animation. There is a large asset library included with Maxon that can be compiled for rapid development of sets, scenes, and effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cinema 4D?

The integrated renderer in cinema 4d is both fast and effective. The learning resources are vast and you can learn simple techniques and also complex things like VFX in both a fun and professional way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinema 4D?

The software is a bit pricey for beginner designers. Without proper guidance, the interface is overwhelming to users. Users most of the time use only 10% of the tools to get their designs done, the other 90% of tools are unknown and useless to some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinema 4D solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Cinema 4d to design some basic models like Solar panels, Wind turbines, and sometimes architectural materials for my company projects and also for my personal projects. I am learning more about this software day by day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Recommendations to others considering Cinema 4D:

You should certainly try cinema 4d, especially if you are looking for an easy-to-use and fast software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinema 4D solving and how is that benefiting you?

Four years ago I started in the 3D world and tested some software, very confused at first until I tried cinema4d. The work environment attracted me and in the first few minutes of use I felt comfortable modeling the first parts of my engineering project and testing animations. I continue to use it to this day because over time we can learn the advanced features and this fuels the initial passion for the work environment provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
