Am I the only one who uses C4D?

Zambash · Jan 2014

I really love using Cinema 4D, but it seems like everyone uses Maya or Max, and thus that is what lots of nice plugins and tutorials and whatnot are created for, I'm wondering if I should switch over to Maya. I don't really know what sort of response I am looking for, I guess just does anyone have some general thoughts on Maya/Max or C4D and if it would be worth switching?

Also I recently picked up 3D Coat and I am really loving it for retopo and normal map baking, what do some of the rest of you use for those steps? I use ZBrush and I know it has retopology but I figure I might as well use 3D coat to do it since I bake my normals there anyways, 3D coat is SO much nicer than XNormal.

Also the reason I posted this here is because right now I am mainly working on making stuff for DotA so I wanted to get some thoughts from other people who are going through the dota item creation process.

Use whatever enables you to make the models you want to make. They're just tools after all. As long as you can export it as a compatible format (afaik C4D has a *.fbx importer).

You're also the one creating lots of unnecessary amount of threads. Keep it in one thread/general.

Sorry, I'll admit that the one wondering if the workshop was broken could have just been posted in the workshop thread, but I felt this was was specific and distinct enough to deserve it's own thread.
