Every person's organization may be different, so you will have to experiment to see what works best for you.
For me, my file organization looks something like this
Animation
-Animator files
--Auto saves
--Plug-ins
--Manuals/tutorials
-Project files
--Organized by project
---.an8 files
---Textures
---Sound
---Anything else related to that particular project
-Renders
--Still renders
--Animation renders
--Work in progress renders
-Library
--Meshes
--Textures
--Sounds
--Etc.
-Reference Photos
--organized by topic such as: cars, planes, buildings, miscellaneous objects, etc.
I have an extensive file structure that allows me to find anything quickly. You may want something simpler or even more structured, but that depends on your working style. A simple structure may look something like this:
Main file
-.an8 files
-textures
-renders
Simple but not so simple that you can't find anything. Just find the file organization that fits you best. Have fun anim8ing.
