Cinema 4D vs. Infogram

Cinema 4D is perfect when you need to create top notch texture and animation. Current integration with After Effects makes it even more accessible. When cost is a concern, there are other options that would be more economical and, with maybe a little more work, could create a comparable end product.

Infogram is great for making infographic-based presentations, leaving behind that look of the old PowerPoint graphics. It is also very good to create posters, maps, and other graphic communication pieces, particularly when there is a need for high-density information in a compact and attractive format. It could also be very useful for promoting ideas at social media, due to the same reasons. In short, it is a powerful tool for communication.

• Intuitive, friendly interface that is actually fun to work with and makes data visualization less intimidating. Easy for non-technical people to master
• A wide variety of visualizations, charts, and graphic elements that continues to grow
• Great compatibility. Easy to integrate with webpages, social media marketing, etc. and mobile-friendly
• Saves a lot of time. You can have a professional-looking infographic or chart pretty quickly that is ready to share or embed.

• Steep Learning Curve
• Pricey

• As with other web-based apps, you need a reliable internet connection.
• Sometimes you really wish to have more control over some graphics, to make finer tweaking.
• The price for the pro version (the lower tier above free) is currently at 19 USD/month when billed annually, which can be a bit much if you don't need to use Infogram regularly.

For reasons mentioned before: an intuitive interface and speed of the viewport, speed of loading, and ease of plugin integration. The MoGraph module encourages experimentation and the creation of highly modifiable scenes. Crashes are extremely rare and the support team and community are hyper-responsive to requests for help. For real... Maxon's staff hangs out in Slack and Discord communities, regularly assisting users with issues. No support ticket required.

I have personally always had quick, friendly, and helpful responses from the Infogram team.

Great integration with After Effects made editing seamless and quick. It was a steep learning curve but not as tough as others in the market. Coupled with the AE integration, it was the tool that made the most sense. As a side note, I used Cinema a lot for artwork (non-work) that I'd create. I is the most fun (and beautiful) program I've ever used.

Infogram had the best balance between the quality and variety of graphics you can produce vs being easy to use.

• Virtual Reality efforts are a huge hit at events and among investors and customers.
• 3D Animation projects have been halved as far as time spent vs. previous preferred package (3DS Max).

Incentivized

• Has a free user option and it is faster and easier to build great graphical graphs.
• Now I don’t have to ask design guys to make me a fancier graph for a presentation.
• After the first graphs are made I can reuse them for the next month's presentation.
