Here’s a couple more ways to do an egg:
1) Create a cube, make it editable, scale down the top face, and drop it in a HyperNURB object;
2) Create a sphere, make it editable, scale it up a little in Y, apply a taper deformer.

Sounds like you have some keyframes that are being calculated when you render to picture viewer but not in the editor — perhaps because you moved stuff around without keying. Hit the play button and see if things don’t match up.

You’re probably running out of memory. Unless your extrusions are animated, I’d convert them to polygons before instancing and see if that helps. Also check your scene poly count and see if you can’t cut it down somehow.

Hey Chris,
You might also check at the CGTalk Cinema forum and see if anyone would be interested in selling you their Dynamics license. To be honest, I think that hardly anyone uses it. The only problem is that, for those who have a bundle that includes it, they couldn’t sell the license without breaking the bundle for future upgrades.

Have you tried Maxon’s shop? Other than that, I’m not really sure.
If you only need hard-body dynamics you might try Remotion’s PhyTools plugin instead of Dynamics. I’m pretty sure it works in R9.6+ and it’s faster and easier to use than the Dynamics module.

Cineversity would also be an excellent choice.

As the manual explains, object motion blur only works with object translation/rotation/scale — does nothing for deformers or point-level animation. Try using vector motion blur instead.
As far as the light goes, you can adjust the location of the default light by selecting the viewport’s display menu and >default light. But for best results you’ll want to use light objects.

Welcome to the weird world of the HPB rotation order. :/ I suggest you check out Cactus Dan’s mechanical rigging tutorial which is available here: https://www.c4dportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2501
He does an excellent job of explaining the problem and offers some solutions. He uses his plugin suite, but you can do the same thing with Cinema’s look at and clamp tags.

Size depends entirely on the final pixel resolution of your render and how zoomed-in you’ll be on the texture. Basically you want to make sure it’s not going to be shown at greater than 100% to avoid pixelization, and it doesn’t have to be any bigger than that.
