• Cinema 4D


  • One of the best software out there if you want to integrate 3D elements into your project. Cinema 4D is easy to learn. Cinema 4D is most likely the easiest rendering software to learn, and it is a must-have for any artist working with motion media

• Advantages of Motion Media


  • They are a great way to present a step-by step process
  • They have a flexible pace in that they can be rewound, fast forwarded and paused at any time
  • They are easily accessible anywhere by anyone, some examples where they can easily be accessed is through DVDs, and online and live streams

• Limitations of Motion Media

  • They limit relationship-building if the media is supposed to represent any social interactions, Concerns and questions
  • They can really be expensive if you consider the equipment and software involved in developing motion media
  • They can pose problems that could not have been predicted, especially with audio and video qualities and other difficulties
  • They are not very flexible in terms of interactions; this is closely related to limited interactions
  • They are time consuming to produce
