I'm working towards starting my own practice based in Europe, one person or smaller size for the foresable future. I've decided to go for Archicad instead of Revit for financial reasons. High quality visuals will be a priority, and I know most people use 3ds Max. As I understand, Cinema4D has better compatibility with Archicad, and the added benefit of being cheaper, so I'm inclinded to start learning it (previously I used Rhino and Vray). Does anyone have experience and thoughts about using both programs? Is Cinema4D limited compared to 3dsMax in terms of resources and capabilites in architectural visualisation?

Just make sure your consultants can work in the applications you use before buying or learning any programme.

this is the first time in 15 years I've seen cinema4D mentioned. Thanks for making me feel old.

Isn’t the native Cinerender of Archicad good enough for what you want? No need to purchase extra software and it is based on C4D.
