I have used both REBUS and RenderKing Render King had great support.
Rebus has an app/ plug in and all that so checking your scenes goes really fast but is a pain in the ass to set up and keep updated for me.I have heard good things about render titan but never used it myself.

*Why are using a null with a light and sphere? If you parent the sphere to the light you can drop the constraint tag.
If you need to have it this way for a reason you should be looking at the Priority of the constraint Tag and the Dynamics tag (or what order they are in the object manager.
If there are still drifting it might be your sub steps need to be higher.

Creating HDR images is an art all in its own. Short answer is merge the same image at different exposures inside photoshop its an option from the file menu if I remember right.
Instead making your own this guy has created some packages that should cover your needs.
https://zbyg.deviantart.com/art/HDRi-Pack-1-97402522I have not had any issues with the HDR light kit like you state here…. however; you could just load your file into a material in the lum. channel and load that into the light kit that way.
In addition to that you don’t need the light kit to do this you can take the Material with luminance channel set it on a SKY object and turn on Global Illumination…. if you want to avoid GI this will still provide you with great reflections.

I just did this:
https://skitch.com/randy-johnson/g3sbi/engcon-v4.c4dI needed to separate my hierarchy for a lot of reasons but I ended up using target tags and pointing one corner that way.

I have used that plug in with ads models with out any issues. I would try to reduce the model since if the mesh is too dense your computer might have issues… so using a polygon reduction deformer and current state it will give you a simpler model to destroy.
If you want to create cubes though you should just go for a Cloner Object in Object mode or use the VOXEL EFFECT preset from here: https://robertleger.net/

I have rendered out several quicktime VR clips, I use it to get my models approved by the clients but on a few occasions delivered them for banners too.

This is pretty straight forward in expresso, I know Brian posted couple examples here some time ago.
Otherwise there is a free plug in that does a great job:

Beveling inside c4d has been known to have its issues.
I do most of my beveling on edges. Select the specific edge loop and use bevel command.
I also use hyper nurbs and add a few edge loops to control it…. generally good results I avoid the weighting control since I never get what I expect from it.This one is edges beveled
https://skitch.com/randy-johnson/g11fb/edge-bevelhere is hyper nurbs
https://skitch.com/randy-johnson/g11fw/hyperthis one is the hyper nurbs mesh.
https://skitch.com/randy-johnson/g11f2/hyper-meshAnd there is this plug in I read about today:
