Maya is harder than both C4D and Max. C4D is the easiest of the 3 to use/learn.

all can export targa or tiff sequence. and that is what you need. AE cannot really handle real 3D

C4d- way easy and they have a free demo you can try.

I just started using C4D and I love it. Its very beginner friendly and there is some great learning tools too. I am currently reviewing Lynda.com's C4D essentials http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=228 and I am very happy with it. You can download a demo of C4d and view the first few lessons from Lynda.com. This will give you a great feel for the program. Cheers, Dave

Not to mention it has by far the best After Effects integration for designers. It's a very mograph friendly app. You can bring in your lights, camera data, multipass renders, etc right from C4D into AE.

Kai, what modules do you think an intermediate artist would need to get the full benefit of C4D. I am thinking about picking up a copy and I know I would want the mograph one, any others? What about rendering compared to mental ray?

Hell, the Hair plugin and Storm Tracer plugins are worth it in themselves.

C4D has the second best out of the box renderer on the market. Mental Ray costs about as much C4D by itself (or used to).
