If the animation team can use Blender, go for it. It's extremely powerful and open source. One advantage to retraining for Blender is that the team and its members can benefit from the freely-available software in the future (post-graduation), when they may not have access to Cinema 4D. |
Specifically looking at the GTX 550ti results, i think this is perfect data to convince our animator to make the switch. He's a smart kid and I think he'll pick up on Blender just as easily as C4D. Thanks guys!
