With one other person showing up with an interest in graphics design, I've decided to start sharing some resources. That link above is a download of 125 C4D renders and stocks that I've been using over the past 7 or 8 years. Here's a few examples of what I've used them in:

My current signature is another example of C4D integration. Some tips for using C4D are:
- Don't just copy and paste the render in the background and call it a design. A lot of people online tend to do so and it becomes quite easy to call them out on it. Use the eraser to sculpt the render so that it generates the flow you want around your render/piece. Resize the image if you have to.
- A lot of C4D comes with an already established coloration, so use the Color Balance, Hue/Saturation, or Photo Filter option to change it in order to create color flow with the piece. Another approach would be to apply a color overlay on the C4D render's layer.
- C4D is sometimes used just for its 3D look. What I like to do with action pieces is to use the smudge tool (maple leaf brush) and shatter the render all over the canvas. It looks pretty cinematic.
