To newbies, don't look back, don't be distracted, carry on whatever you are already good at, life's too short to learn everything.🤭

I'm a Blender user, and I love it very much. But to be honest, if you're into motion graphics, I would recommend going with C4D. I find it to be much better in that regard. The mograph tools in C4D are super cool. It's true that geometry nodes in Blender are very powerful, but they can be challenging to use. If you want to create more complex effects, it's better to go with Houdini instead of these two. So, choose the program that best suits your needs.

I've been using Cinema 4D's node system for geometry on a lot of projects lately, and use the node-based textures in C4D exclusively. To say Cinema 4D's materials are layer-based is silly. No one uses Cinema 4D's layer system for materials anymore.

You don’t need to dump C4D for anything else. It is a great piece of software, and if you are into VFX or Motion Graphics field you should spend your time in sharpening your skills in this program.

Cinema 4D has had node based materials for a couple of years now. Does this guy know what he’s talking about?

Even tho the video is cool, many points mentioned in this video are kinda wrong and also the list was very lackluster with actually missing genuine reasons why people might choose Blender over C4D or other softwares. Blender doesn't have the game engine anymore, it was removed like back in 2018, so I don't know how up to date the person who made this video with information related to Blender is because Blender today and 3-4 years ago was a completely different beast. 1. The hard surface modeling tools are way superior in Blender than any other software. Anyone who has modelled in Blender would know what I'm talking about and especially the combination of modifiers is impeccable. 2. Blender has much advanced rigging tools and animation tools especially for character animations compared to C4D. 3. Probably the biggest feature Blender has added in the past 2 years that wasn't even mentioned in this video which is literally game changing for Blender, that's geometry nodes. Being able to use node to procedurally model, soon animate rig, simulate is game changing and it's pretty much going towards Houdini while being much less complicated and way more geared towards generalists. 4. Blender doesn't have the best UV tools in the market, that would probably go to Maya because Autodesk bought the best UV plugin company and shoved it into Maya, but for UV editing Blender is miles ahead of C4D. 5. Blender comes with 2 render engines and they are both CPU and GPU accelerated. One is realtime and another is path traced. 6. Blender has a compositor built in. Although it's not gonna rival Nuke or Fusion anytime soon, it's great to have a node-based compositor right inside of a 3D software to quickly shuffle out different passes and do some light mix compositing with light groups in Blender. And not to mention the new viewport compositor that has been added in Blender that literally lets you do composite in realtime on your viewport and not just put some post effects filter. 7. Blender has a massive addon ecosystem, those cheap addons (cheap becasue they are usually one time purchase and cost like 1/10th of most C4D plugins) extend Blender massively and adds cutting edge features and workflows that no other software has or atleast exclusive to one software. Addons like hardops and boxcutter have become the go to workflow in game industry and people working at playstation, CD project red are using it to make games. These points could've been made instead of saying points like Blender is free and open source and making 2 points about it out of 10.

Who is this false advertisement of the Blender designed for, for those who have never opened Cinema 4D. I work in C4D and have tried many times to switch to work in a Blender and I still don't like it, despite the fact that it is free - precisely because of the very inconvenient interface and other logic. Only those who are not familiar with any 3D program can buy into this

I moved from C4D to Blender recently then I realized that modeling in c4d is so painful.

As a professional motion graphics artist, I'm now learning Blender even though I'm a killer C4D user. Mainly it's for Grease Pencil, integrated dynamic topology sculpting, and an expanded set of nodes of materials (specifically the voronoi shading node). Price isn't the issue for me as a single day at my rate pays for a year of C4D, but these specific tools to make stylized 3D/2D looks haven't really been brought to C4D. It's also kinda crazy Maxon One costs almost twice as much as the Adobe full suite. If you add greyscale gorilla plus to the mix, you end up at $140 a month.

Agree with some of the comments here. This is quite a click bait video, which seems misinformed / lazy. Using both bits of software, you're not even mentioning Blenders main strengths, i.e Geometry Nodes, Eevee, Cycles X, poly modeling capability, its huge affordable addon ecosystem etc. Im pretty sure not many serious artist are that interested in Using Blender in VR which seems more like q gimmick Also misinformed, C4D does have a material node system that is comparible if not better than Blender's, along with a comprehensive houdini like geometry nodes system of its own, which has baffelingly little press.

My query is simple. If I switch from c4D to Blender how long would it take to model this. drive.google.com/file/d/1yzGt3RgYYdIWAemXzcq4fIbiAVddGpuZ/view?usp=sharing And is it easy in terms of methodology of nodes.

I love watching 3d softwares comparisons don't know why although I did already used both of them for extended period of time both are great but some of the reasons you mentioned are not that important

Welcome back, its been a while What happened with c4d ? It was ur baby software no?

They dumped the game engine, but it's alive and well in a blender fork called UPBGE. If I have to use a game engine, I prefer Godot Engine myself. I don't make games yet, but game engines are great for ArchViz projects. You can see great examples of these in Unreal Engine, Unity, and some in Godot.

ive used both, especially c4d extensively.. but i love Houdini most.

i used both c4d and blender professionally, i can say this man dont know what he talking about half of the time, don't use this video as you reference its not a good comparison video.

Today you dump Cinema 4D for any other 3d software and spend more learning time for nothing. Tomorrow Maxon releases a bunch of new C4D features that may change the game. Thanks for the weak attempt to change my mind.

oh my god ! again ! Hello, it is not right to divide the software in general and say that this is bad and that is good! This is a personal opinion! Each software has its own power. And that one should be chosen based on the amount of cost, ease and difficulty, and the time you have and the goal

Im changing C4D to Blender because i cant make a living out of this yet and C4D is way too expensive for my budget right now, thanks for the insight.

C4D has python too. The reason it has so many plugins is that it offers such access. I’m here to see if I should switch to blender, I’m sad this video isn’t factual enough for me to trust it.

This guy really hates cd4.

And Maxon one sucks really bad. Way too many bugs and annoying errors keep happening all the time

I love how the next recommended video is "Dont switch C4D for Blender"

So?.. if you are a character designer, pic blender but if not, C4d as a motion graphics Soft, is WAY BETTER

While these are all great points, I feel like Cinema 4D has a much easier work flow which is why I still prefer it. I do wish it had images to planes though, that drives me crazy.

by far blender is best 3D package. thats why Realflow did not want to dev addon for blender. even a simple python script to give you control wehn you export abc from rf to blender.

I ditched Blender for Cinema 4d, how about that! ❤

Next video are you going to tell people, "why you should dump BLENDER for HOUDINI" ?

Do you agree?

For good or bad, learn one the paid big three (3ds Max, C4d, Maya) and also learn the best... BLender

Now a Days, I am also using Blender... its a really good and free

GEO NODES:)

Blender´s game engine is gone since 2.79.

I believe coffee is not good for health,

100% true video title.

Don't forget that while blender may be free, most of the good addons are not.

How do you dislike a video without watching it ? #Maxon

The fact that you didn't mention that Cinema 4d has a take system and Blender does not just shows you shouldn't be making videos comparing anything. Any professional who uses a pass or take system knows that any software without that is unusable for client based work. Blender does do some things better than Cinema 4d, but without a pass system it'll never be a serious 3d software.

It seems like there is NO reason to learn Cinema 4d! the only advatage it has is the natural integration with After Effect

Blender is a joke. It's got all the buzzwords, but its all wrapped in a terrible interface designed by people who really don't know how a 3d program should operate and do not work in big studios. The base workflow of Blender is just idiotic. A game engine and VR a video editor don't belong in a 3d program. It's a waste of space and waste of resources. Cinema 4d does have a lot of issues, but you didn't mention any of the real problems it has.

lol, dont chage, dont lose your habits, next lts vers of blender will be chaos because most addons wont work due code change.

It's subjective, not everyone has your opinion.

This video is more like religion than facts. The only point is the price.

Parametric workflow … I’m staying w C4D

11. 90% of this will not matter to you.

Blender is the best software for one to bang their head through a plate glass window out of frustration.

No offence but I find blender very unpredictable.

blender not as friendly as cinema 4d thats why i don't give a damn about what blender have , it still complicated af sometimes it take an hour from a noob like me to make something simple in blender but in c4d i can make it in less then a 1 minute, the most UI friendly in the entire 3D market is C4D UI

These a.i. videos ffs 😅
