Hi Ero, have fun learning C4D. I'm not really the brightest candle on a cake when it's about learning a software, but I made it pretty far with C4D. C4D mainly has two issues - for me! 1) it is very expensive if you want all its features. 2) I am spoiled by the Poser universe with all its content. You can even buy more content for max or maya, but C4D, nada. The biggest advantage of C4D is, its UI is not cryptic at all. (Well yes of course, it depends what you are used to) When I was more into C4D the render engine was famous for being very good and quick. I don't know if this is still true today comparing other apps. I am curious to hear your results, when trying a PE in C4D. Will a PE rig be easier to set up in C4D? How long will it take you? What bugs and limitation will you find there?
