One thing you could do would be to use the vertex map shader. This tutorial by Ben Watts should give you everything you need to know and more: https://vimeo.com/93337566

Seems your image attachment didn’t take.

When using NitroBlast, try removing the normals tag from the object before you fracture it.

No experience with that computer, but at the moment you’ll need an nVidia card if you want to use Octane Render. I’ve heard some talk about them supporting AMD with Octane 3.0, but there’s no telling when that will come and if/when it will actually support AMD.

There are programs that can do this but Cinema isn’t one of them.

You can find the point number by selecting the point and then looking the Structure Manager (set to points mode).

How are you making the objects disappear/reappear?
-
How high did you set steps per frame? You may need to go higher.
Another possibility is that you may need to adjust the scale setting the same tab.

You can do that by placing the Effects>Normal Direction shader in the Alpha channel and then use transparency to control the opacity of the object.
The normal direction shader simply hides the back faces of polygons (or front faces if inverted).

There are a couple things you can look at. The first thing to consider is how many times light rays are allowed to bounce, which is determined by the diffuse depth parameter. Generally, the higher the diffuse depth the lighter your shadows will be.
If raising your diffuse depth doesn’t solve the problem, or if it adds too much to your render time, you can think about adding some fakes. One thing you could do is add a little luminance to the floor/ground material. Another option would be to increase the generate or receive GI parameters on materials that are reflecting/receiving light (material’s Illumination tab). Or you could do it the old fashioned way and add one or more invisible fill lights.
