"I'd look at Lightwave,Maya,Max for rigged characters.I'd say there the top 3 for rigs"

Agreed ..To be honest C4D has never really been strong in the area of character animation and they dont seem to really focus on that aspect except for Cartoony types.

I use it for its really fast renderer.Lighting and large scene management and Direct connection Adobe after effects for compositing. If you are from a Poser/Daz background C4D will be a culture shock when you start to see what is required to Change hair & clothing or body shapes etc. I render my genesis characters in C4D as animated .obj files driven by MDD data exported from Daz studio
