Question

Why is Cinema 4D installed as part of After Effects CC? What happens if I remove Cinema 4D?

Can you stop installing crapware on my systems. I don't want Cinema 4D on my system.

My hard drive space is for me not Adobe!!!!

I don't mind bundled software per se, but after a major version update, where I did select remove previous versions of After Effects, I noticed that the bundled software is NOT removed. so now I have 3 versions of Cinema 4D installed.

Ideally, Creative Cloud Desktop would handle everything. You're on Windows, right? When you go into the folder for each version of Cinema 4D, do you see "uninstall"?

They can be uninstalled from application pane (and the 2 oldest were with no seeming ill after effects haha). But it is tedious since our work computers are locked down. IT sets up the rules that allow CC the necessary access to do its app updates, but as a mere mortal I am not priviledged.

The same hapened to me... I'm a CC user for years now and sometimes I have Cinema 4d that pops up in my last installed softs. I never asked for it...

Now to reply to the person that said that Cinema 4D is expensive on its own and is a wonderful tool... It might be, but the problem is we have it on our system but we do not have the licence, so we cannot use it. So why 2Gb of a software that we cannot use ?

In order for After Effects to run properly, cinema 4D is necessary. It utilize their physics engines for alot of the plug and play templates most people use. Generating the physics has always been computer intensive. Adobe has clearly stated who, what, when, where, and why this was happening. If you don't like that. There is Davinci Code, and other software, that won't come close to the combined efforts of adobe and maxon. They've even solved alot of GPU issues and you can now use the latest versions of this software on less robust systems which is totally cool imo and very innovative on both their parts.

Are you crazy? Cinema 4D is hella expensive on its own. You should take some 3D courses and add this useful tool to your workflow. Get a better computer if you're in the industry and can't run 4D—sounds like you need it.

Carlisle1500, I am very sorry, but Adobe did not produce Cinema4D. You can find more information about this software title on the Maxon website at https://www.maxon.net/en/.

Are you sure? I reinstalled some new apps in the CC and there is Cinema 4D on Mac. Let me post a screenshot.
