My brother is finding this out the hard way with his product visualizations right now. I have messed around with XSI, and even though it is very powerful and flexible, those two traits have the caveat of having to set everything up to the n’th degree to get the same look I had in C4D in 5 minutes.
It may sound silly but things like that make my life soo much easier. C4D also deals with large amounts of geometry way better than max.
Lofts too, have an animate switch built in in C4D, but max I have to go and animate the scale deformation of a loft in the X and Y. Volumetric lights just work and look fantastic in C4D, whereas in max I will waste half a day getting the setting right for each scene. Two examples are volumetric lights and animated lofted splines. I can punch out graphics really quickly and get a fantastic look with out too much effort. But still, get mograph.Īs a motion graphics designer who has to use 3ds max at work, I love Cinema 4D for motion graphics work. To be frank, Stead圜am is even more vital to own in my opinion, because camera animation is more commonly needed than cloning, iterating and other mograph module things. (the spline wrap and text object especially), but it’s so deep that motion graphics is probably only a fraction of what people actually use it for. It’s only a matter of time before the Cinema motion graphics reel can match the bigger apps–it’ll reach parity sooner than Cinema’s work for feature films.Īs for the mograph module, before too many people jump in, some parts of it are indispensible for motion graphics. That’s why Cinema started getting used in the first place. And you can start up with Cinema faster than with Maya. But there are more than enough jobs out there for Cinema users in major cities who have any kind of design chops. In fact, the sum total of Cinema work can’t match the Maya or Max work in motion graphics. You won’t go wrong with any major app, and there are a ton of people out there doing amazing work in Maya, Max and XSI. Look at Buck, Raffi Simonian and all kinds of other shops getting busy in Cinema. If you’ve never used a 3D app, and you want results for production without a ton of hassle, that’s the route.
