Pros
Pro Free
Sculptris is provided free of charge from Pixologic.
Pro Sculpting allows for easier creative expression
Sculptris has great editing tools that allow designers to concentrate on sculpting and completely immerse themselves into making models, forgetting about all the complex methods modelers usually have to use in their daily business.
Pro Works on Lower-End Devices
Sculptris is essentially a lesser version of ZBrush that works on low-end PCs.


Pro Easy to learn
Cinema 4D is heralded for its approachability. New users are not hindered by lack of familiarity with similar tools.


Pro Clean UI
Customizable floating palettes and configurable view panels let screen space be dedicated to the artwork, not the interface.
Pro Great modeling and animation Software.
It's super easy to learn, and there are lots of tutorials online. What really ticks me off, is that it's always rated below Blender, by Blender fanboys. Sure Blender's UI is way better now, after it's 2.8 release but not better than C4D's. Blender is open source, and has really good 3rd party plugins, and is always being updated which is great.. But it's not better than C4D. Just because Blender is "FREE" doesn't make it a better Software, while again I repeat it is a good Software. C4D is also capable of the same things, and possibly even more. C4d is really underrated. And I don't understand why there wasn't a "YES" under the (3D) section on the list for C4D.

Cons
Con Small scope
Doesn't do much besides sculpting.

Con No Linux version
Only for Windows and Mac.
Con Limited sculpting toolset

Con Expensive
Starts at $995.00 with the complete version costing $3,695.00.
Con Doesn't make true Booleans like most other 3D Softwares.
It works in a parent and child structure, so when you subtract one object, from another, it remains there invisible, and can be moved around.
