Pros

“C4D is the best 3D animation program for motion graphics and simple animations hands down. If you work at an animated movie studio obviously this won't work, but for the every day person this software is the best.”

Michelle T.

Video Editor and Animator

“It makes creating 3D models and animations feel fast and efficient.”

Erick L.

UI Design

“It’s a reliable tool for creating high-quality 3D content.”

Pros

The interface is friendly, the asset store is basically a treasure chest of “please save my project,” and the community has a tutorial for literally everything, including mistakes you didn’t even know you were about to make.

Parker W.

“Unity is a great entry level game engine development platform that is easy to learn and offers a great variety of deployment capabilities from console to mobile games.”

Irvin D.

Software Developer

“As my first game engine platform, I can recommend Unity for first time learners as well as for creating full production games.”

Irvin D.

Software Developer

Cons

“It can be very stressful and could potentially waste some money as you'll need to pay a license for the third-party tools as well.”

Tchameni C.

“Cinema 4D is not for everyone, the software comes at a price that can be too high for users with a small budget.”

Tchameni C.

Creative Motion Graphic Designer And WordPress Web Designer

“Limited customization: User interface and workflow customization in Cinema 4D can be limited compared to other programs, which can be a disadvantage for some advanced users who prefer more control over their work environment.”
