Rest assured our goal is to always break down barriers between MAXON and designers, and provide you all the tools and support we can to exercise your creativity.

I think that the main thing we are missing for character animation in C4D are tutorials. To show what the software can really achieve. There is very little on youtube and free access websites, and almost nothing on Gumroad/Udemy and etc... The last rigging tutorial uploaded on Cineversity is from 2018... And by tutorials, I dont mean the ones involving Character Animation module/ Mixamo integration. Whenever I try to find to rig a specific thing - last week was a front limb of a fox - it is one of the most frustrating experiences. A vast majority of tutorials are all involving the premade character rigs, but not actually teaching or explaining how to achieve such result. The best rigging tutorials are find are usually for Blender or Maya. And for the quadruped tutorial I tried to find for instance, the best one was by a guy called Pierrick Picaut - A genius in character animation in Blender.

Coming from Softimage, I was worried that cinema 4d wasn't very deep in the area of character animation...and maybe at one time that actually was the case. But as I learn the tools I'm finding out that c4d not only seems capable and able to hang with Softimage, it might be better at some things too. I keep discovering things that make me go "I wish I had this tool when I used Softimage."
