    • Depends. Do you run your own design studio?monospaced
    • don't be a jerk mono

      so how's the learning curve?
      Days? Weeks?      grafician
    • It’s a joke ffs.monospaced
    • Maybe a month of doing courses and experimenting and you'd be able to get consistent good results. Although you could start to get decent renders...PhanLo
    • ...just from a few tutorials.PhanLo
    • Haven't touched 3D since 3dsmax 4 so...grafician
    • loledsted
    • 45min if you put the youtubes at top speednb
    • You relearned AE in under a month, sooooo...monospaced
    • Cinema4D is relatively easy compared to Maya, 3dsmax, Lightwave etc... me thinks, I always looked at it like a minor 3d software when I was a 3d enthusiasti_was
    • You should try Blenderi_was
    • don't, go with blender. In any case just break 3D down to each part and learn each one by one.shapesalad
    • 1: vertex, polygons, mesh. 2:manipulation of meshes. 3: materials on mesh. 4: lighting + camera. 5: rendering. 6: motion.shapesalad
    • once you understand the basic concepts behind all that, you can easily learn c4d or blender etc, as they are just tools to deal with the aforementioned.shapesalad
    • Hmm thanks, those steps make sense
      I should probably start a 3D thread to learn in the open...      grafician
    • I say NO to Blender, bad UX

      And there's nothing stopping them to ask for a $10 subscription or whatever & hire a good UX/UI designer to help them      grafician
    • Ironically, blender has as much or more developers working on it and more updates and money going in despite being free, than high price packages.monospaced
    • Including developers who have just recently overhauled the UIUX for the better. You surely noticed the change with 2.8monospaced
    • Never used blender, never will
      thus my question about Cinema 4D...      grafician
    • I thought it was because of the UImonospaced
    • Prepare yourself for this: https://i.imgur.com/…i_was
    • you can learn a tutorial pretty quickly so pick a tutorial of what you want to learn so you can quicker get your goals.AQUTE
