Cinema 4D vs Maya vs Blender

Hello, I need opinions on these three programs (Cinema 4D, Maya, Blender) for 3D rendering. Which ones do you guys use/prefer? Which one would you suggest I get?​

​

All input is helpful, thanks!!


​

 

The best one would be Maya. I started with Blender because it was easier for me to understand.

 

Industry standard is 3DS Max and Maya. I would personally say go with 3DS Max and Zbrush, but then again it all depends on what you're doing.

 

Thanks, lol currently downloading 3.1gb for 3DS Max...>_<

 

Don't forget Zbrush for character sculpting.

 

What exactly is ZBrush? Is it a script or plugin or something?
