Pros/Cons
Pros
- My overall experience with AutoCAD has been wonderful, it a very helpful tool and provides a lot of features than helps on designing and reviewing drawings.
- AutoCAD is very easy and friendly in use, there is very easy command in AutoCAD which I love the most.
- AutoCAD is a solid software, with a friendly interface and with some practice is easy to use. Helps a lot with drafting processes from scratch, and you can use it in any level of the design process.
Cons
- The line style selection can be confusing as the line style chosen may not reflect properly when exported. The cursor snapping options can be confusing/ bothersome sometimes.
- Bad news for new users, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2019 are only available by subscription unlimited licenses are no longer available.
- It is very hard to have even the least amount of dislike for anything this product has offered over the years.
Pros
- Cinema 4d is amazing to create simple and complex animations/visual effects and the interface is solid and after a while it's easy to understand.
- One of the best things about cinema 4d is the overall procedural workflow system. Rendering quality is great as expected from a software of this calibre.
- Amazing integration with RED Giant plug-ings and AMAZING SUPER-FAST rendering engine (RedShift). Swiss-Knife of Motion Designers also thanks to its natvie integration with Adobe After Effects.
Cons
- It crashed in heavy scenes and sometimes stuck. No fluid simulation built in.
- There are times where it hangs and get's stuck and now you have to restart after waiting for a couple of hours of rendering. Happens to me ones on a blue moon though.
- There are many things that are more difficult to customize in this software, or that I have not been able to customize as easily as in other programs.
