If you think about it logically, it is the other paid software that competes with Blender, which is free and extremely powerful.
Blender always as it has been chosen for its friendly presentation 🎉
C4D is $983.00/Year. X particles is $526.50/Year. Add in any additional plug-ins for C4D and you're looking at a recurring bill of more than $1500.00 and that's not including a Maxon One sub. which would put you at nearly $2000.00/Year, every year until the end of time. If you should ever decide to stop using Maxon One or mentioned products, you lose all of your work files instantly. I do agree that C4D does hold a few advantages over Blender currently, but these are few and far between. Also, let's be real, when it comes to sims and particle work, no one is using C4D or Blender in production as neither will out perform Houdini. So really, Blender in a pipeline with Houdini, Nuke, Substance Painter for example, is a force to recon with.

@ikbo I understand what you mean, I have used C4D forever now and find it hard to use blender... but when I realise how good C4D is compared to anything else, I feel angry for the people who will never get to use it cause of its price. It's mind-boggling how good C4D is, I feel like maxon should drop their notion of the software being for just industry men and cater to the newcomers and standalone designers.
Cinema 4d definitely worth the investment especially with the latest particles system overhaul with the potential of it being as powerful as x-particles.

@@Dynamic.32 Yes. Houdini is great, but something done with X-particles takes 5 times longer to do in Houdini. It's not a fast alternative and it's hard to learn.
Also blender has geometry nodes. Which is way much more advanced than mo-graph, and in few years will start competing with Houdini. Also blender’s octane is free as well (octane for c4d is paid). Blender ui is much more modern and unified.

The closest comparison to geometry scenes cinema4d has is scene nodes instead of mograph, which is still being developed. Recently maxon has been commissioning rocketlasso for capsules made with scene nodes, for example the partition modifier is similar to houdini lab's lot subdivision. That being said, scene nodes is still relatively undocumented and new so it will be a while until it becomes close to geometry nodes

Mo graph is something completely different than geometry nodes. CInema has it as well but Blenders geometry nodes are better. However Blender doesnt have the mograph stuff and motion graphics. Also dynamics, particles, rigid bodies. is still lacking in Blender
I learned 3d in cinema 4d long ago and used it for all my work in the industry until recently after i left working in 3d for a while to learn other things and came back. I had avoided blender because it was free and just never thought it could be as powerful. I made the switch and never looked back. Blender is just to good being open source and with the massive community of developers it just keeps getting better and better. And what you meant was path tracing not ray tracing and now with turbotoolsr addon blender cycles can render way faster than redshift.

Great video bro, i started out with cinema 4d, but ended up with blender 3d. I must say that i agree with the verdict, for the fact that the latter is free.
Alguém sabe um site que daria pra baixar o cinema 4D com crack que seja de confiança? Eu só encontrei vírus onde eu tentei.
It seems like Blender literally would be better than Maya, Cinema4D, or Max if they focused on what each of those programs do. Maya for character creation and animation, Cinema4D and Houdini for VFX, and Max for hard-surface modelling. Blender is made for all of those niches at once and can still compete to a level, which is amazing.
I use Cinema 4D. But I really want to learn Blender. There is also a mograph module, which has no analogues. And of course the learning process itself is also important.
The question is very simple: If you could get cinema 4D for free and all its paid features, will you still go with Blender? The answer will tell you which one is better

I'm a C4D user of 15 years, and considering picking up Blender... I do work in 3D motion design and most studios that I have worked / contracted for would never consider Blender for a production pipeline... which I hope would change... most likely the reality is that I would have to use both... Blender is amazing for sure... and looking forward to get under the hood...
@Takatou__Yogiri

I think they are not picking blender because they have invested pretty much money in other software. And they have their own custom tools. But it will change within the upcoming next 10 years. Blender is almost on equal foot with most of the software. And start-up started picking blender already. Starts up are the future. And blender will dominate the future for sure.
Why not both

cinema 4d interface and layer based system is much easier to learn .
I'm a C4D user, the only things I'm really jealous of when it comes to blender is how cheap and useful a lot of their plugins are. I don't like the fact in Blender you can only open one window a time instead of tabbing everything out, that's pretty annoying. Also I was on a project recently where the blender user hired me to use xparticles to do a pretty simple fluid sim. Blender plugins have the crowd simulator, car simulator, traffic simulator, building generator, a whole bunch of stuff I wish C4D had. C4D is way easier to learn, mograph, octane, and nearly every proper motion design studio uses that in addition to houdini. In terms of sculpting I don't want to give that to Blender cuz C4D comes with Zbrush which is industry standard and used in every videogame. In terms of cost this is my job so it's a price to pay if you're making money off and and Maxon releases good updates every year. C4D is rigid and in the box it's really like mac vs pc. Also like I don't sculpt, hard surface model or really rig in Cinema 4D at all it's not part of my job. As a C4D user I'm mostly paid to do particle simulations, motion graphics, rendering, a few other things. I haven't been asked to grease pencil or use a lot of the other functions I know blender has. Also just ease of learning it like Xparticles is SO EASY TO USE and they provide updates.
Blender is great and so is CInema 4d, it all boils down to how much an artist is willing to spend, I would choose 3ds max for modelling and vfx work, especially with the release of tyflow making max a game changer, Tyflow offers an enormous particle, cloth and fluid sims for industry standard work. Phoenix fd delivers tremendous fluids and explosive power, Making Max an all powerful House Like Houdini. Cinema has an amazing mograph module and delivers exceptional motion design power, incredibly easy to use and versatile, has amazing plugins like x particles that is a game changer as well. Fact is a lot of users use the cracks for these softwares and so not everyone actually pays for them. A lot of career are builts on cracks lol...in conclusion all the softwares delivers exceptional power, knowing more than one makes you untouchable lol
I switched from Cinema4D to Blender and am very happy with the decision. In my opinion, blender offers a lot more and is very easy to learn if you have previously worked with another 3D tool

Blender requires a bunch of add-ons. It’s like Frankenstein. I collaborated with a Blender user who gave me a file that couldn’t be rendered because it required a ton of add-ons for basics. I switched him to C4D so that the TEAM could collaborate. Blender is a cute toy for hobbyists but not a professional, industry standard tool. And I doubt it’ll remain free.

Both of these programs excel at motion graphics. You really can't go wrong with either option. C4D has been known for a long time as the king of motion graphics, but recently with the development of Blender's geo node system it has largely caught up. If you have the option, I would go with Cinema 4D, but blender is free and can do 95% of what C4D can.

like he said, c4d has been the best in motion graphics for a while while blender is very much making quick progress catching up. however blender's advanced motion graphics techniques are largely based in geometry nodes, while c4d may be more user friendly starting out jumping straight into that field of 3d
