Quote - What do you use Blender for instead of C4D ?
Modeling, Sculpting, Uving, Grouping, etc. The new sculpting tools are very nice, the newer modeling tools may not be as advanced as some programs, but they allow you to build stuff rather quickly once you get used to them. If you have not used Blender in a while, you should check it out and look at all the stuff they added to it.
I use Blender for doing simulations sometime as well. C4D does have better dynamic controls. And it is easier to set up attribultes in C4D than in Blender. But in the end, there using the same physics engines.
Hopefully by the time Blender hits version 3, it will have all of the same type of animation/dynamic tools as other high end software. Somewhere I read that they are in the works, but the API needs re-wriiten first to do it properly. The new api will allow tons of new things to be added as well. Not sure what version will have the new API. But that's probably posted on Blender.org somewhere.
Live physics is available now too, in real time with no cheats such as baking etc... And yes, rendered live as well on a system with enough gpu umph. (still in beta) I'm guessing that it will get even better with the new API in the pipeline...
Some things are easy to explain, other things are not........ <- Store -> <-Freebies->
