Post subject: 3ds max or cinema 4d for high school?
So im really into film making and such, but mostly special effects and motion graphics. I would like to get the student version of one of these (cinema 4d or 3dsmax). What i want is an easy interface, the least amount of rendering time possible (i know itll be a lot but still..) and to be able to make good text models (looks realistic). Rig them, animate them, etc. But ALSO i would like to integrate some of that into real video (using PFhoe, boujou, etc.)
correct me if im wrong, i heard cinema 4d is better for what im trying to accomplish because it has a smaller learning curve and is a little better with text. BUT THIS WAS FROM A NON-RELIABLE SOURCE....
THANKS IN ADVANCE
BTDUBS: the software i am currently using is FCP, Adobe production premium cs5, boujou (school has a license) and sketchUP (which i would like to upgrade) hehe thanks!

Go for C4D it has more tools and it is cheaper, Max has a bigger market because it was the first in addition it is good for architecture.

In my opinion,3dsmax is more useful than cinema 4d.

C4D - cheaper, maybe more tools (I'm not sure)
3DSmax - more expensive, lot of free and paid plugins and scripts for it which gives it even more tools and makes it very powerful.
Choice is yours. I like max especially because of these plugins and scripts and because it's easy to find help if you stack with your work.
You may eventually think about Blender which is powerful and free

You could try Blender. It is free and open source, and is pretty impressive. Also, there is a wealth of tutorials, and instructional videos for it. It is a fully functional solution and I actually prefer it to 3ds max.
