It is very popular among hobbyists and professionals. And Cinema 4D has support for the most popular third-party addons in this industry whether it be for rendering, modeling, populating sense, adding materials, adding plants and vegetation, and more.Ĭompared to Blender, Cinema 4D has been popular in this field for a long time, but Blender has grown a lot in the last decade which makes it a fierce competitor in Archviz because a lot of people even professionals are starting to integrate it in their workflow. Blender has amazing tools for animation, rendering, simulation and also 3D printing. It can run on most CPUs and GPUs made in the last decade combined with at least 8GB of RAM. One of the great things about Cinema 4D is its simplicity, and since Architects and designers are not the most artistic people, this software makes sense to them, especially, if they are not familiar with complex 3D packages. Like most professional 3D software, Cinema 4D is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Like Blender, Cinema 4D is Great for modeling and adding materials, lighting, and rendering your interior or exterior scenes. To be honest, this is one of the few areas where it excels. What I absolutely love about Blender is the CUDA render, I used Iray CUDA render with Cinema 4D but its really bad same with 3DS MAX. On the other hand, Cinema 4D is also a great 3D package for Architectural visualization.
