Overall Satisfaction with Cinema 4D

Cinema 4D has been used in for graphic design and animation, though an atypical use, it still worked well for our needs. After you know the interface, Cinema 4D has a great platform that enables us to quickly create a quality end product but still has the power and flexibility to create world class work.

Pros

  • Seemingly endless selection of tools
  • clear and powerful manipulation tools
  • effect use of hotkeys for navigating the 3D space

Cons

  • Render windows could be better organized and clear (mostly for new users)
  • Implementing quick lighting templates
  • Possibly using a "real world" unit of measure
  • Powerful Export options
  • Quick modeling tools
  • Integration with AfterEffects
  • Flexibility of styling and modeling
  • quality light and texture rendering
  • quick modeling tools saves time
I've found other modeling programs to be cumbersome and difficult to wrap your head around at first. While Cinema 4D isn't an "install and run" kind of program, it does lend itself to being easily learned without the expense of being limited or beginner focused. The integration with After Effects is also a big selling point.

Do you think Cinema 4D delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Cinema 4D's feature set?

Yes

Did Cinema 4D live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Cinema 4D go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cinema 4D again?

Yes

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.
