I’m sure the article mentions this, but download the free trial versions of them both and get a feel. I started in Maya, then after 3 years switched to C4D. Unless you find you will be doing a LOT of character animation or MEL scripting, I think you’ll find C4D much friendlier at doing ‘everyday 3D’.
If you do go with C4D. Download the free ‘Citygen’ plug-in that auto creates cities.
