Hi,
A question for 3D animators and filmmakers. Which 3D computer animation software should I learn and why? Maya or Cinema 4D. I need it for motion graphics, 3D character animation and photo-realism photos.
Those who need more specific background of me, here is a paragraph:
I am working in commercial and music video industry. Mastering at high level Avid Media composer and Adobe programs like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, Audition, Lightroom and InDesign. My workplace is upgrading and offering me to learn 3D animation platform. I have to choose between Cinema 4D and Maya till end of this week. They are paying for the license and 20 day tutorials.
Company wants me to compose real footage with 3D objects: smoke, fire, houses, etc. For certain projects it would be animation as well, nothing hardcore, but mostly they would be kick-starters advertisements for some gadget that needs to be design in 3D space.
Let me know what you think!
