Hi,
The problem may be with the reference materials because they are not supposed to appear black in the Node editor. I have put below a link of a good tutorial about blending materials. I hope it will be useful to you.
Thanks!

Hi Maxim,
just consider that with Cinema 4D you can bake every object and so freeze its movement, even if created by Expresso. For that, you just need to select the object in the timeline and then select Functions -> Bake objects…, It may also cause some problems during baking because the car or some of its parts are the child of a null, and the null is animated.
I hope it helps.

“– C4D uses linked files a lot, rather than storing a copy in your project. Is there any chance any of the linked files could have been changed by you or someone else (think shared drives, shared cloud storage etc) which could have had a knock on affect?
– Quite out there and unlikely but C4D has a daylight node that can match the light position and output to your current time and time zone, so rendering at different times of the day will produce different results!”
I think that one of these two points that Tom mentioned may be the reason, especially the first one if it is related to changing the location of some HDRI files used in the scene lighting.

Hi Joe,
You could create a point in the center of multiple points and at the same level by closing the hole of the cylinder using Close Polygon Hole, then selecting the emerging polygon and right-click, then Split. The cap will become an independent element. Then delete the cap from the original cylinder, select all the points of the cap, and set all the size values at the bottom to zero. You will have now one point. right-click, then Optimize, then select the two elements, right-click, Connect Objects & Delete, now you can align the Null to the center point using Snap as in the attached screenshots.
I hope this is what you are looking for.

Hi Maxim,
Regarding raising the time steps to make the collision more accurate, I think you could do that by raising the FPS in the render setting as well as in the project setting editor. but before that, you have to make sure that all the rigging points are in the right place, especially the rigging points on the back wheels. Zoom in to make sure they are exactly in the center. Also, if you are using Landscape for the ground, it is preferable to make it editable because the Collision is more compatible with polygons mesh, you could also use the Subdivision Surface on the floor mesh this will improve the Collision detection. I hope that these steps will be sufficient to solve the problem.
thanks!

You’re welcome, David! I just wanted to let you know that it’s not supposed to find an edge between the two halves when using symmetry unless there is a problem with the topology. If you want, you could post the model file so I can check it for you.
Thanks!

As for the Connect feature, you are right. The Phong tag will not work because it will be controlled through the Phong Mode in the Connect editor. Try reducing the Tolerance value or even disabling Weld, this may solve the problem of reflection on the lenses.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Please make sure that the polygon hole where the two halves meet is not closed, because if it is closed, there will be a problem in the topology of the resulting model after applying Symmetry, as in the attached screenshots, just as happens when you modeling and using Subdivision Surface with closed holes inside the model, so try to delete the polygon there then apply Symmetry again.

Please check the attached file, I think the problem is fixed. If you want to select polygons, edges, or points along one of the axes, you can use Loop Selection by pressing “V” then “Select” then “Loop Selection”, as in the attached video.
Thanks
