I do work with C4D as as XSI replacement, and it's not all sunshine. Just as Modo, small projects are fine. There are things that make me scream. Not maya scream though, that's another level. Modelling if I do I do it in SI because I personally think C4D it worse than Houdini. Mograph is fun. I do render in Octane and I just got Arnold in C4D which is a my home ground. Of the two I think C4D is better, Modo still lacks behind. When we had tele conference with The Foundry about Modo, They were not ready to give us any answers about where it's going piplinewise. That was almost two years ago. I really like Modo but there are things that annoy me since 301. The biggest issue though is, I always need to be minefield careful when I am in the viewport and do seemingly simple tasks. ...and this shader tree, oh my.
