Hi guys! I just came back to origami world ( Robert Lang's video on Ted Talks realy realy inspired me) .
Anyway, I realy would like to know how you guys started learning CPs. I am looking for a realy good source, sites, books even handwritten notes by you guys , old pics whatever. I wish you could guide me through this incredible world of folding. Because I have a dream. Yeah , i want to fold God of Thunder (by Hojyo Takashi)
If one of you guys have been ever fold him, I would appreciate the guidance.
Thanks for reading this. (Sorry about my english, not my mother language)
PS: I know there are previous links about CP on the forum but some of the links are broken or outdated..

First of all,
you, not all the members of this forum, will have to do the bulk of the research & preparation.
Revisit the Diagrams and Crease Pattern section of this forum. Many of the links
are not broken ...
Going through all of them will take you some time & individual effort. Persevere .
Narrow down your request with more specific questions.
Include your experience level, along with photos of your present successful models. Not stock photos !
If, and when, you are ready, you will find that a Pajarita site has lots of helpful hints for completing The God of Thunder.

Keep in mind, that your misspelling of the word " really " , not one but 4 times , does not bode well for your attention to detail , native language or not .
Successfully solving a difficult crease pattern requires attention to detail, obviously .
Sensible folders proceed from easy to difficult crease patterns, in that order.
Not vice versa ...

Now now, you're being A bit too harsh, don't you think?
If everyone did their own research and never post any questions already asked before, then the forums will be very much dead. Got a question on the diagrams? The words already explain what you need to do. CP question? Pfft work it out yourself. Is that really the type of environment you want to encourage?
Also, with regards to him spelling "really" wrong, its his second language, if he didn't know it's spelt wrong the first time, can you really blame him for repeating the mistake three more times?
Just so you know, you have used the wrong word in your reply, it should be "not once", and not "not one". For your sake, I hope English is not your native language.
And before you ask, no, it's not mine either.

@ Forum_Lurker :
It's unfortunate that you found my reply to be harsh, I have to wonder if you actually read the entire passage, or simply launched into a " fur in a tizzy " tirade.
While I appreciate his enthusiasm, I choose not to placate him, but rather, to encourage realistic progress and development through individual effort.
Advanced origami is a worthwhile goal, but a measure of personal discipline is generally required .
You, on the other hand, may prefer being " spoon fed ".
That process will enable you to, someday, with luck, make a crane ...

Well finaly people are talking... I am speding 6 hours a day doing researsh... I am folding 3 average/complex models a day... I am working on it. Not just sitting here asking things... Anyway, I already applied for a spanish origami CP study group, but I want more. I always want more. I know that I know nothing. And I am thirsty for knowledge.
Peace, and have fun folding.
