In an article on the latest release of CINEMA 4D, the reviewer wrote something I found kinda interesting:

CINEMA 4D … [is] now up to version 11.5, which is just as many versions, if not more, than the older Maya, Max, and Houdini (I’d mention Softimage, but that went through some weird period akin to the Dark Ages after the destruction of the Library in Alexandria, so its timeline isn’t accurate).
