Sharing a screengrab like that breaks the copyright guidelines. Is there no way of illustrating the feature with a publicly shared video of cinema 4D by the copyrights owner?

But then what is possible?

Possible is:

• Talk about other programs in general terms based on public available knowledge. For example: “Maya’s layer system offers overrides”.
• Share links to videos or articles endorsed by the rights holders. For example “this promo video shows well how Modo offers character rigging”.

Do not:

• Include screenshots in posts from commercial / non-open products.
• Copy texts, diagrams or other content from websites without their permission.
• Indicate in any way that we should copy external ideas or methods without permission.
