Yes, you can bake materials. There are a couple ways to do it, so I’d suggest checking the help files to see what would work best for you.

Have you checked to make sure the normals are correct in C4D? You won’t see any problem unless you go into polygon mode and select all.
What format are you using for export?

Agree with Brian, but if those aren’t options, I find I get the best results by selecting and melting as many extraneous edges as possible.

Maybe try restriction tags on the hands or wrists? Keyframe the strength.

You’re best bet is probably to go through Maxon’s product comparison page: https://www.maxon.net/en/products/info-sites/product-comparison/

Simple solution: go to the light’s “Details” tab, enable near clipping, and set the desired start/end distance.

The easiest way to do this in Cinema is to use the X-Particles plugin, but it’s a bit pricey.

I believe you have to use bezier curves in C4D to get control handles.

Hey, Steve. I’m doing fine. Thanks for asking.

Wow, I did completely misunderstand what you were trying to do. ☺
If I’m getting it now you can achieve what you’re trying to do by using a variation of the trick GSG used in their card flip tutorial.
In this case you’re going to use a random effector get the start look you want, but you’re going to use a Shader Effector to animate the weight of the random effector.
Steps:
* set up random effector for desired position/rotation;
* in the random effector’s Falloff tab, set Weight to 0%;
* create shader effector, zero out parameter tab but set “Weight Transform” to 100%;
* add a noise shader in the shading channel;
* inside the noise shader, animate Brightness to randomly cancel the effect of the random shader.
