So, I am decent in photoshop and am thinking about trying to create renders, etc.. What program would you guys reccomend? I was thinking of Cinema 4d but am open to any and all opinions.

Thanks,

I use C4d, its awsome and way easier then other 3d programs.
But you should search on Google for opinions/facts/etc. Because theres too many 3d programs out there.

and what eacly are you going to model/animate etc...
what would be the main purpose ?

C4D is a really good program, especially for beginners, but there seem to be much more tutorials out there for 3ds max, so idk, maybe Bryce would be a good choice, its cheap too!

bryce isnt modelling program (you can model with it in limited ways, but its not his main purpose),
thats why i asked what your intentions are...

I learned 3d with Cinema 4d, and since then I've used Maya,3ds Max, Lightwave, and others. Cinema 4D is still my favorite, and it is alot easier to learn than some of the other programs out there.

Bah not this again... we had thousands of this exact same topic.... anwser to your question is easy... you yourself must try out the demo or trial versions of different 3D programs (and we have a list of them posted and stickied at the top of this forum).... every one is different and not every one likes teh same setup... so go try the trials.... and if you really want some one els to tell you then I'm sure you can find over thousands of this exact same thread posted everywhere on the net...

and just to warn you... this thread will probably be closed because if you wanted an anwser you could of just used teh forum search tofind an earlier thread of thsi exact topic....
