This is a partial list of C4D resources I use regularly. I have bolded those that will probably be of the greatest benefit to you. If you don't know where to start as a C4D animator, you could do worse than this:
- Compete in the 5-Second projects. Dedicate time to making a project you're proud of. Actually trying to make something is far more instructive than a manual could ever be.
- If you run into a problem, someone else probably has too and you'll be able to find an answer on the CG Talk forums.
- To stay current in all the latest and greatest in C4D, subscribe to C4D weekly. Read the whole newsletter and at least one article a week. If that's overwhelming, do it once every other week.
- Once you've put together a reel using your best 5 second projects, go to DMALA and meet up with some other C4D and AE artists in person. Bring cards, eat free pizza, get work.
- Whatever you do: create *something* on a regular basis.
