The easiest way by far is to export to Alembic format.

Cool, glad you figured it out. When you scale to 0 the front and back caps overlap and cause a rendering error because the raytracer doesn’t know which polygons are supposed to be in front/back.

Hard to say but you may have the flat mapping rotated 90 degrees to the surface. Here’s a quick demonstration applying flat mapping to a 4×4 grid of polygons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_rcef-Npt4

I would try setting the extrude caps to Type: Quadrangles, and check the regular grid box. You may also need to lower the grid size (but be careful as very low settings can produce a bazillion polygons).
Can’t help you with the Light Kit problem. Maybe post at GSG for help?

In the material’s editor tab, check the “animate preview” box.

Yes, there’s no such thing as a photorealism button, unfortunately. As noted above, lighting is very important. Materials are also very important. And modeling also plays a part (generally you want to avoid sharp edges). Reality is chaotic and you have to put that into your renders to make them look real. Dirty up your materials and geometry.

Unfortunately you can’t control color with Polyfx, but you could use a Fracture Object instead.

Beveling and booleans don’t get along in C4D, unfortunately. Maybe you could try a displacement map instead?

Looks like it’s still off to me. It’s a little hard to explain so I did a little video tutorial for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx_EpgwQb2w

Do you have your AE comp set to 32 bits? Not sure if that’s the issue, but it could be since HDRI are 32 bit files.
