Baseline design skills needed?
How much artistic background, drawing, designing do you need for being good with Cinema 4D? Can you get good with the program without an understanding of graphic design, color theory, etc.
Thanks.

None or lots, it depends.

You can become incredibly competent at this program without an iota of design skill. There are entire skillsets within C4D that don’t require a single art class – rigging, dynamics and Xpresso (C4D’s visual scripting language) are three examples. You can always team up with a designer if you get really good at the math functions of the program, or you can just model real objects by taking measurements (Apple’s already done the design work if you want to create an iPod).
Basic design skills are also something you can learn as you go if you want to. There are crash courses online.
