With Cinema4D I presume you are looking at the low end price version.

Carrara5Pro for example you will probably find more comprehensive in what it can do. I think you will find it a much easier programme to learn. And it has a range of plugins available -WOW stuff-that are far far cheaper than other apps.

Have a look at what the high end versions of Cinema do. What can't you do in Carrara5Pro?
