Newbie Question...What does c4d mean?

[SilentStalker]

As the topic title states, "What does C4D mean exactly?" I keep seeing people saying C4D this/that and then when I look at what they are calling C4D I keep seeing some really abstract badass backgrounds in which case I am left pondering how the hell these things were created. I keep finding tutorials about SIGS and crap but they all say start out with a C4D image and do this/that but never say what exactly a C4D image is. However, they always say crap like go here to get some C4D renders etc. What if I want to make my own. How the hell do I do that? I mean I have been using PS awhile but have never been able to figure out how people just come up with the crap I see.

C4D means Cinema4D, and its a program used for 3D modeling, you can create just about anything you'd like if you got the skills
I just got into C4D and its pretty hard to understand in the beginning lol..
And those C4D renders you talk about, heres an example of how they might look like;

^^^So, you are saying that nobody could create something like what you linked me to in PS? I am just trying to understand this crap because I have people tell me they create crap like that in PS in like an hour and I just find that hard to believe. Please enlighten me.

I am most certain that they DON'T create something that I linked you to in PS, they create those with Cinema4D and use the C4D-renders for backgrounds in their sigs.

I was wondering about that as it seemed to me to create some of the backgrounds I have seen in lately in PS would be quite a PITA!
