Not working in Russia, being hard to pirate.

C4D is mostly used for film/tv. The thing that gives it a leg up above the other software is it's ability to work easily with adobe after effects.

It basically does the exact same thing the other programs do but it's much more user friendly out of the box, the learning curve isn't as steep as blender or houdini, and it's almost up there as far as being an amazing animation tool. (I personally think Maya is the best at animation)

When I worked at a news station, they used C4D and it honestly made me feel like I could get work done faster, especially with quick deadlines to put on the air. The program rarely crashes, it can handle a bunch of polys, and it "just works"

mograph toolset. it's pretty big in design/advertising. almost every c4d user in this category is secretly ashamed they're not smart enough to use houdini though.

it is fairly intuitive as the other anon says.

Primarily motion graphics. MoGraph was fucking huge back then. Nowadays more programs can do the same stuff, and C4D's been trying to add Scene Nodes alongside a new core. How it fares to Blender's Geometry Nodes, I don't know, from what I've heard it's still not amazing.
Also back in the day there was Bodypaint 3D, which again was the best thing in its field until it got surpassed by everything else. Hell, it took them 10 years to make the UV tools UI not dogshit.

I use it for character animation. Can't recommend. It has NLA (animation layers) and pose morphs (shape keys in Blender), but the performance is pretty bad, and the animation layers like to act up weird. There is no built-in GPU renderer either. Honestly I'm fine with the standard renderer, it works fine for the monster porn I'm using it for, but a professional NEEDS to pay for Redshift or Octane.

So I have kind of a conflicting relationship with C4D. I love, LOVE, its GUI and workflow*, it's just nice to work in it most of the time. However, it has got issues, and the development has been kind of a bore the past decade. I can't imagine paying for it.

*I've quickly gotten used to Max's UI too when I used it in school, so I think I'm not completely tarded, but Jesus Christ how the fuck does anyone use Blender's UI? Everything is so hidden and all available menus and options change based on where you click on. Makes me feel like a brainlet.

OP here
>Jesus Christ how the fuck does anyone use Blender's UI?

I started dumping time into it when I was 12 and never used anything else. Idk what the problem is that everyone complains about

Davinci Resolve Fusion took over. It works better with blender3D.
The Enterprise studios use Foundry Nuke3D.
Because Cinima4D relies heavily on adobe apps it's not worth learning.

That's because you don't use multiple software that homogeneously work with each other. You don't know the pain this causes us.

Things are easy to figure out, the ui is easy to understand, default layout is great. Its comprehinsable, smallest learning curving and much usability. Everything about c4d to me is *cough* *cough* "agreeable".

Where to pirate though? I am not sure I believe those 500mb exe file packages on public trackers.

What I did a few releases back was download an offline installer from maxon website and then downloaded the crack separately.
The installer should be a full version and I think this method should still work.
Few issues:
you have to make an account to download the installer
they only have the latest installer, so cracks for older version might not work, i.e. current version installer is S26.014, latest crack might be for S26.013
