i will be part of the 1000! i’m going to try learn something new!
"free" but asks for credit card number...
@@Sway55 It's not a scam :D they do that to verify a person... Otherwise the same guy could make whatever account to get the two months free and renew it forever. But a credit/debit card has to be in name of a person. So they know if you're a first time user or not.
@@archockencanto1645 they also will automatically charge the card after 2 months
Personally, I like the Creator of Blender, who made such a great app completely free
He's a legend
@Glizzster Maya Goes Bruhhhh
@@Deezsirrer Maya goes Katoosh BOOOM
He didn't create it they just made it free the guy who made it sold it.
I would have never thought to step into 3d world if blender wasn't free
Hey people, just use or try both and see which one is best suitable for your goals and decide then, i first used Blender for a while but then i switched to C4D because of its powerful Mograph moduel and the CMotion easy rigging features makes me to chose C4D in the long run. So dont box your self after seeing such a comparison videos, just explore and learn as much as you can.. then decide.
X2
i prefer blender i already tried c4d and i decided c4d is not for me (so i exported the c4d models to blender lol :v)
@@ElectriKMadnezz we call that CG Blasphemy. lol
@@naodmulu1080 yuahahhhh
if im starting out whats better u think?
You will never truly understand the difference between these 2 softwares till you use the 2 softwares.
As a user of both softwares i can say he totally say the truth .
@@mohammadsabri5611 yeah same, i used cinema 4d for about 3 years, then switched to blender
Except for the price
@@ZigCade why please?
I use both. I have a deeper knowledge about C4D than Blender curently, but still use both. I've maintained an MSA with C4D since r11.5. Love both programs. I continue to use Blender becasue it free and amazing. However, if they had equal price tags, I wouldn't be using Blender at all.
This is one of the most fair comparison softwares I've ever seen. Congrats!
I couldn't decide between the two as I learned them both at the same time...so I chose to use both. I would say I predominantly use Cinema 4d, but there's too many cool, unique tools in blender to ignore.
Are you able to use blender to actually create and rig characters, but use cinema for the clothing?
Thanks to do that kind of videos, I appreciate it a lot
Omg, you explained it very simply! It's really easy to understand. Thank you so much! I've always wanted to learn these.
Thank you for making the video, really enjoyed it
i think blender is positioned to become the ultimate 3D software... it's slowly taking steps to overcome most of the alternative softwares, and the only reason why it is still not used widedly in the industry is that the majority of the artist are already adapted to other softwares or the company have a very specific workflow and wont change it until it is necesary to do so... but im sure in about 15 to 20 years, if blender keeps its improving nature, it will become the best you could even dream
Just use the right tool for the job. Blender folks always seem to be a bit too attached to a program and it gets old fast. Mograph? After effects/cinema 4d, sculpting/non rigged modelling - Zbrush+Blender combo, FX/Particles/Sim - Nuke, 3ds max, Houdini (the top contender). Animation - Maya over blender but both are good. Rigging - Maya, While blender does have auto rig - it breaks often and is not that great. Texturing/uv mapping - substance painter then throw that into your choice of program.
Too far of a wait
@@corail53 what do you think about TexturingXYZ ?
OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH this video was very help especially this last point; pricing
The best 👍 .
Thanks to you, I still figured out where to start my path in 3D (Blender) .
man I missed this kind of tutorials lol. Great work here, thanks!!!
The introduction was very helpful, thanks!
You are amazing, I just switch to soft softs and I am loving everytNice tutorialng about it. It much easier then my last program.
I've been waiting long time for this comparison especially when it comes from a professional 3d artist like you
thank you for such a well studied and put together sum of information
Good stuff in this video, thanks for sharing your experience!
a lot of useful information, thanks for the video!
I am not an expert yet but thanks for your videos it has been a stepping stone for me
You do great work bro. Keep it up bro.❤❤
when it comes to shader nodes or some kind of node editor, I prefer blender because it's easier to remember the color of a node. whereas like Maya and Cinema 4D, it's just color gray. So we still remember the writing and it takes more time.
I started with Cinema 4D but gave up because the interface was horrible. I just couln't catch on. Then blender 2.8 released and I never went back. I love blender, getting better every day!
yeah, cinema 4d looks kinda outdated
Same
Going to blender because C4D is too hard.
Thats something you don't hear everyday..... Odd. Very odd. C4D is kind of famous for being intuitive. Im not convinced its got a particularly great workflow, its very clicky, but hard? No.
But rigging seems stressful with mesh not following armature
yes
Nice explanation thankyou so much.
TNice tutorials was great! the way you explain tNice tutorialngs and repeating it really helps. thanks for the tutorial!
Bro you are awesome as always
Thank you for an amazing explanation =3
Very informative thanks a lot
Man i love these videos
Thanks a lot. I was a C4D user for whole year, but I can not pay so high price for membership plan as I never had any income from my art =( So now is time for Blender. God bless a software creator.
Amazing Work 👍
Thanks for the vid!
Nice video!
Keep it up
this video is so helpful thankyou
1:33 “Architects and designers are not the most artistic.” WTH?! How did you arrive to that conclusion?
Ikr
i felt personally attacked
I am very sorry for the lack of variety of courses on blender compared to those on cinema 4D I love blender, especially for the interface, but at a certain point it is impossible to continue improving if there are no courses that teach you, besides Almost all content is in English.
"Almost all content is in English"
Is that a bad thing?
Thank You So Much Bud
works perfectly, thank you
8:07 - Nope! Unfortunately not. Redshift is still a separate software which is not included in C4D. Even though Maxon bought it a while ago you still have to buy it to use in C4D
i'm pretty sure the guy narrating has barely used any of the two software...
@@yunodite I dont even think he really can use all of these software at VFX basics level or advance modeling... he always sounds like based of what forums and people are talking about. I'm sure he knows Blender but not C4D or Maya i/o
I hope some company offers a product called tv hand were tv can be fixed on a base that can move and change the height and angle of the tv by remote control so it can allow the customer to adjust the coordinates of tv position and this hand can catch any tv size.
Great video. I was a C4D user way back in the day before they even had English language documentation. (it was all in German) - now that I'm on full-time Linux, Blender has taken it's place for me. The one "killer" feature that C4D still has over Blender, that you didn't mention is full NURBS modelling tools. Sweep and Envelope NURBS are pretty sweet. I really really want to see it inn Blender
@@touchai1482 It's been a while since I used it, but back then if you went into the help menu there was a choice to open the manual. If you don't have it on your computer you have the option of either looking at it on-line or to download it so you can view it off line. If this option is available in the program still, then if you have C4D'ss language set to German (it may just use the system's language settings) then you *should* be shown the German manual. Maxon is a German company and the documentation is written in German first and then translated (and now probably English along side it) So it's there. It always was in PDF form. If you really need me to, I can try and find it again, but I think you should be able to find it.
thank you very informative
“Designers are not creative people” lol
LOL yea ....... I gotta say he's wrong as hell for saying that!
they are innovative at least
i think he meant not on his level
I can't join your words
@@imthatguybrandon actually being a designer is often confused as being an artist/painter/ etc. Designers are actually problem solvers. They design systems and products that solve problems. It has little to do with aesthetics and drawing ability and more on innovation and critical thinking.
Thank you. Very useful video.
What about Speed and performance. I think Blender Code based on python and The Python is slower than C++.
is this affects on blender performance and render time?
Nice man ty
Good job, dude
Can someone point me to a good overview video of Blender's character rigging/animating capabilities?
I would like to get more familiar with the tools it offers.
This is an area where I feel that C4D never gets the credit it deserves. My guess is mainly because majority of the user base focuses on motion graphics work.
However, C4D’s Character builder tools is flat out AMAZING. Not only can you use many modular prebuilt templates, but you can also save your own custom templates with very advanced functionality but into the templates. The recently added Mixamo rig is a great example of this.
C4D’s pose IK tag systems are a breeze to work with, the PoseMorph system is very easy to use as well.
C4D’s USER DATA system make custom parameters for rigging beautiful and easy to work with.
The Interaction Tags a dope way of interacting with a rig for posing and manipulation of other parameters.
The Weight manager is really nice to work with and very effective.
It’s got animation layers, a stackable animation clips system, a takes system, a solid graph editor and dope sheet.
It’s got a decent muscle simulation system, very good cloth, hair, hard & soft body dynamics.
Even it’s xpresso system for creating expressions is very intuitive and flexible.
I guess what I’m most curious about here, is what is Blender offering in the area of character animation that Cinema 4D is lacking in?
I would love to know this aswell, this is extremely interesting.
@Georgi Zagorchev I hear you Georgi.
When I hear people saying “Cinema 4D is easy.” It is usually in the context of C4D’s learning cure being comparatively easier to similar software or DCC packages. Learning CG is not an easy task to begin with, it's very time consuming. That phrasing is often misunderstood as Cinema is easy because it’s toolset isn’t as deep, or it’s in someway not a full CG package. Mad frustrating misconception to deal with.
I am that expert you talk about with decades of experience and still plenty of program to learn/master. I agree with what people say about Cinema’s learning cure, and I agree with what you’re saying about the depth of C4D’s toolset.
I started in Blender (it’s free & very powerful, what better start can you ask for?). It’s not that Blender’s tools are difficult to learn, it’s just that C4D’s tools are more intuitive. They make the path to success shorter by lessening the steps it takes to achieve the goals. Both will get you there. Blender just might take the scenic route. For me (I know this is not universal, but for my workflows...) a C4D licence is paying extra for a jet making a direct flight to the destination, while Blender might have a stopover or two on it’s fight path.
Thanks for your help.
thanks, evrything works great
to! Can’t wait to buy it, and getting startet!
ikr too. i clicked on sotNice tutorialng and now i cant find any tracks and everytNice tutorialng is blank idk what to do
In The setup tNice tutorials was a really helpful video but I'm using soft soft 12, is there a reason why I can't hear my own soft play? I click to play

You are an excellent instructor. I will stick with you.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for this video sir :)
Most welcome
4D for ease of use and amount of support, Blender for learning and modeling and best yet FREE. But I’d recommend learning both, you can put things from blender to 4D (similar to Blender and UE)
for posters/image renders i much prefer cinema 4d over blender but with animation and stuff like that blender is definitely superior.
I agree! that was what I think, until R23 :>
@@jankarl5269 R25 is out, and R25 totally nailed it! By completely Copying Blender.
TNice tutorials was easy to follow.

Which software would you recommend for making 3D Game Characters that is easy to learn and not too expensive? I had Adobe Fuse but it's discontinued. I tried DAZ 3D but didn't like that and the newer versions don't seem to work properly on my Windows 8.1 PC.
Blender - because it is free. It is not the best for sculpting (zbrush is best for that) but it also costs quite a bit of money. As for ease of learning - any of these programs will take you a while to learn. Just keep at it.
Finally thank you very much
nice video bro, can you make one of houdini vs blender? : D
Yes, we will create this video soon, probably in the next few weeks.
Don't insult houdini
Comparing Houdini and blender it's the same as comparing a child who can't talk with a successful businessman. I am a Blender user but I don't see any sense to compare them cause this is softwares from completely different worlds. Blender is powerful right now but you will never create the same things in a blender that you can create with Houdini because they're just aimed for different purposes.
@@adsgnz exactly! I use Blender and Cinema. Let people know the truth. Blender is really good at a lot of things, but isn't notably great at anything. You really need to try out more softwares to understand. Someone can easily say blender's mantaflow can do fluid sim so it's comparable to houdini, but that's just rubbery cartoony fluid compared to houdini's physical flip simulations.
@@adsgnz I agree, you can not compare Thor and Star-Lord.
will be a fantastic journey!
Just curious about using Cinema 4D for game assets, environment art, character modelling/texturing and export to a game engine like UE for example. How does it compare with Blender in this area? Great vid btw, ty!
Works just fine.
Very helpful video, it helped me decide which one I'll learn first(blender)! Thank you for sharing!
I used Blender a lot in the past but switched to C4D. I like Blenders viewport and render features better than C4D...also modeling and unwrapping seems more fluent in Blender.
I like everything else much better in C4D. It has a million features that Blender is missing.....noise variations, jiggle deformer, collision deformer, voronoi fracture, fields system...heck the whole mograph system (animation nodes is fine but still too unstable and convoluted), thinking particles, procedural and non destructiv modeling....and the list goes on.
Blenders physics are glitchy and horrible, no presets and no real indication what the parameters do and how they interact....no comparisson to C4D where you look at the UI and immediately understand what you need to tweak to get the desired result + it 95% of the times it just works and doesn't glitch around.
I would say: if you create assets or characters and make 3D stuff that doesn't require any procedural workflows...you're fine with Blender.
If you want to make anything that involves Motion Design or VFX and you can afford it...you will be a billion times more happy with C4D.

i have some questions if someone could answer that would be amazing.
which is the easiest to learn for beginners?
So blender has a built-in renderer but with C4D you have to download/buy external?
Cinema 4d is better for beginners, but unless you're doing Motion graphics and/or advertisements, Blender is probably the best. I'm not sure about C4D's renderer, sorry.
DUDE, I got so frustrated 'cause of that problem, thanks a lot!
I work in advertising, music videos and movies. For a long time I was using C4D but it was too expensive because you had to buy Redshift and a bunch of other packs. I switched to Blender 3 years ago, my work has accelerated many times over, but the quality is down because Cycles renders are not very cool out of the box, you need a lot of faking that would get a good result, also very frustrating dynamics in Blender, there is clearly something wrong with it, all simulation in blender is a pain! C4D is still my favorite program and I keep on doing things with it because it's so much easier and higher quality, I'm planning on going back to C4D
I used blender for 20 years now. I make movies and mini series with it. The u.i. is hard as heck. Not easy to learn. But worth it.
20 years holy sh*t ur a genius, now sell nfts and make millions like beeple did
I wanted to use cinema4d cuz some dude animated a "Sonic movie new design" on it, but imma stick with Blender cuz i don't money to afford C4D and i like free open source stuffs, just i case i can do something for blender community
I started making soft recently, I was wondering if you wanna do any features.
I am doing 2d animation in tvpaint and harmony and am thinking of using blender to integrate 2d animation with 3d elements & backgrounds... And also for compositing. So is it the right choice to use blender? I am currently doing compositing in after effects....
inspiration tuts creating beef where is none
thanks so much man
c4d is just expensive af, even tho it is almost free if you are student it still lets me unmotivated to learn it further cuz i know how much it will cost for me after my degree
I started on Cinema 4D SE it was £550 now they priced armatures out.

Check my channel I mostly used blender for my visualization works
Bruh what? LOL Software does matter 🤦🏻♂️
Correction: The need for simplicity in any UI is exactly because we want to express something.
Making a UI with countless nodes is anything but being artistic but more about being a rocket scientist

@@shayneoneill1506 me too. They milk people way too much. Blender welcomes all that are interessted in their software, while Cinema4D just wants people´s money.

I'm very basic in knowing 3d (i forgot what I learn back in Univ years ago). I'd be appreciate if you can answer this, thanks in advance!!
@@cliffto6 For motion graphics - use C4D. Blender is not the most intuitive when it comes to that stuff. They will all take some time to learn - oddly blender folks are weirdly obsessive about the program and seem to be emotionally attached to it.
I work in the VFX industry , I have been at studios that use both programs. but I would still advise people to learn cinema 4d over blender Because more studios in my field use this software. but also you will have to constantly adapt i'm learning new tools always. I anticipate unreal engine will be the future we are implementing unreal into pipelines already. just keep learning & remain adaptable.
any advice to someone whose going to school for vfx soon?
I don't know a single a studio where I am that uses blender for VFX. Most of them all use Nuke, 3ds Max and Houdini and then pipe that into Unreal for digital sets etc these days.
If anyone has any advice for someone whose going into VFX for school and is also very interested in Animation, Please let me have it. Thank You.
VFX - learn Nuke, Houdini and Unreal. Animation you will most likely be learning Maya at a school as it is what the industry actually uses. Blender is decent and you can do some amazing things with it don't get me wrong it is just that very few studios actually use it in industry. That said learn the basic principles of animation - you can do this with paper and pen then bring those concepts into your program of choice and you will be set up.
man im so in love with these two apps I really can't choose which one I want to with i mean cinema is great and easy for modeling while blender has a great render engine why is it so hard to choose
I want to know game engine pipe line ease of use as well as range of compatible plugins for both that work with game engine.
I don't know C4D, but I use blender and it's not that difficult to get anything from it to unity or Unreal Engine. Not to mention a good majority of tools easily work in blender and export to game engines.
It is not hard to get c4d into a game pipeline like Unreal.
wonderful video
