We have symmetry generalized to any axis and any mode, since 2.81 (closer to stress and hesitation of 2.80 than validation of Blender 3).īlender developers did not go as far, because there were other basics to improve, at that time.įor the modeller, who thought about Symmetrize feature (that was added to Blender, in 2.65, almost 10 years ago) : the fact that it became a must-have, in any 3D software package, is Scene nodes are just not really used by Cinema4D users that much. It’s been like that since the very first release. The C4D crowd is a very very different type of user base compared to Blender, Max, etc.

Blender’s community tends to be more 'hands-on', if you know what I mean. Lots of motivated and curious young people as well.Ĭ4D remains mostly inaccessible to teenagers due to its high cost. Even installing a hacked version is probably just too much of a hassle, since Blender is one download and two clicks away and offers TONS of resources for free. So why bother with C4D? Besides, all the cool stuff is done with Blender by other young people.Īnd it also doesn’t help that Maxon has a tendency to stop putting any effort into a module when they find out there is an initial lack of interest or when the devs are steered into a different direction by management. Top it off with Maxon’s distinct lack of low-level interaction with the C4D community and a hidden roadmap, and… it is what it is. PS also not helpful is that the only C4D focused forum (Core4D) requires payment to post stuff.

Until a few months ago the forum was closed to anyone but for paid subscribers.

Is cinema 4d better than blender
