That helps a lot. It is good to hear from a happy user
We will definitely have a very look at C4D and Redshift is out on alpha for C4D.
How do you find the support for C4D?

Honestly I could not be any happier.
Sure I miss ICE, but for 99% of the things I have to do, C4D is actually a lot easier than even Softimage was. Not to say it is better, but in my book easier is (in a certain way) better because it gives you more time for iteration.

The tools are easy to learn, there is no lack of power, and frankly my work has gotten better because of it.

I used Maya for 9 years and Softimage for 10 years before switching to C4D.

There is stuff I do every day in C4D that I would never have attempted in Maya, would have been fine with doing in Softimage (but it would have taken longer) and with he addition of Octane as my renderer, I feel I have the best
imaging ability I have ever had.

I tried Houdini and sure, it is really powerful, but the effort required to harness that power was just not worth it for the vast majority of what I work on. For the few times it would be useful, I can always turn to Houdini for that power (and I have).

But that has only happened 2 times in 3 years and in the time since, I found that had I known about a feature or plugin, it would have been
better and faster in C4D than it was in Houdini.

I know this sounds like I am doing a sales pitch for C4D here, but I am not. It isn't perfect, but neither was/is Soft. It is just so much less stressful I can hardly even explain it.

Hope that helps you a bit!
