Sounds like a near clipping problem.

You need to enter “Model” mode. In the standard layout it’s the second icon from the top at the left side. Or, Tools>Modes>Model

That is some messed up geometry. Every object has a bazillion disconnected points, polygon normals are reversed, naked edges….
But when I optimize to get rid of the extra points it makes the shading problems 100X worse. It almost looks like the objects are using normals tags, but I don’t see any.
What program did you use to create the model?

Unfortunately there’s no way to do that in Cinema (or AFAIK in any 3D program).

Here’s an example file: 8033_groupchangecollideandage.c4d.zip

Yeah, plugins make this much easier than trying to do it manually in Cinema. Thrausi is a free one. But it is possible without plugins: https://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=47

Probably not getting much response because this is a way advanced project for a complete beginner. It’s certainly doable but too complicated to explain in a forum post. Do you belong to Cineversity? There are quite a few applicable tutorials there.

Go into the Extrude object’s Caps tab and check “regular grid”. Then set the grid to quadrangles. You can adjust the density with the grid size setting. You’ll still get some triangles along the seams but it will be mostly quads.

Click on the sculpt tag and look in the attributes manager. You’ll see a button called “Show Layer Manager”. Click the button. Then, in the Layer Manager, go into the Tools menu and click “Make Polygon Copy”.
Create a copy for each pose that you create.
Then put a pose morph tag on one of the polygon copies. Check the “Points” option in the tag and then drag the other polygon copy objects into the Poses box.
