Cinema 4D is a 3D modeling program similar to 3D Studio Max. I've been using it for a couple months now and its great. You can see a sample of my work on this thread.

is it true that its hard to use?

[eyeinfinitude]

With any program....it's always hard in the beginning because you're trying to get use to the tools, but once you play around with it and practice, things will eventually make sense.

You can download a demo version at Maxon's site and if you like it then you can purchase it there. Here's the link. =)

thanx electrongeek for your help but when i downloaded it, it's require to connect to the internet to complete downloading (126 mg),,, i donno know is this normal or i did something wrong :(

[eyeinfinitude]

hmm, well I've never used the demo version so that's something new to me too. I'll ask my friend later and get back to you on it.

Hey you might wanna shop around for your 3d solution.... I have used cinema 4d.....did not really dig it....so I chose 3d studio max....But I also have LW7.5 which is cool and my buddy uses Universe so there are plenty of options I suggest look into all of them and weigh your optionsb4 u smack down a few grand

light wave = www.newtek.com
universe = www.electricimage.com
3d studio max = www.discreet.com

Check those out...then there is maya....and believe it or not there is a free one I cannot remember the name but it was okay...i'll post when I remember.

[telekinesis]

Why does everyone forget about Maya and ZBrush??? :sigh:

[DDD]

I mentioned Maya...although not many users left in the world....They are becoming like COBOL programmers *extinct*

[Makaveli]

maya used to be so powerful b4, its amazing how evrything simply fades out as new tech emerges

[pom]

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think that Maya is still the most powerful tool among everything you've mentionned so far. :crazy:

[eyeinfinitude]

yup, Maya is still pretty strong but lately a lot of the attention has been on Softimage. I heard that they made the Jurassic Park movies with that program.

[DDD]

OKAY I REMEMBER.....in a previous post I mention a free 3d software that is kinda cool. It is called blender 3d http://www.blender3d.org/

It is not bad considering it is free. I created something for my company using it (just to test it) and it actually appeared in a video game. (rayman)

*laughs*

Yeah, I'll just leach the demo's as long as I can. I don't have extra... thousands of dollars, I think you said. :o

How much did yours cost electrongeek?

[Aislin]

Never mind, just checked out the site.
Yeah, I'd be well on my way to my dreamy AlienWare comp for that much, lol.

[Aislin]

A friend mentioned something called BodyPaint? Cinema 4D bodypaint???
Anyone know what he's talking about?

EDIT: Why do I bother asking questions, I just found it. There's four options on which to download, electron, which do I get?

ANOTHER EDIT: I can't find out where to DL that blender thing from, I just keep going in circles on that site.

[DDD]

here it is
http://www.blender3d.org/UsingBlender/
click on the text that says download section.. for a free program it is pretty cool

[Aislin]

:( I can't make sense of all these little files and all this parent directory. aaaah!!!!
which one?
Sorry to be uh, dumb.

[DDD]

HHMMMM......im not sure which one either........It was not like that a few hours ago......maybe something is happening with the site. If you want they have a pretty responsive forum contact them and see which one if you wanna go thru the trouble.

[Aislin]

Hm... I'll do that trouble a bit later. ...Yeah.
