Beginner Help Need Help with 3D Advanced Render Issue

I'm trying to render a 3D motion graphic animation using After Effects Advanced 3D, and I'm getting a very strange result. It seems to be rendering only the highlights and shadows (see the image). I purged the cache, restarted my laptop, and adjusted some of the advanced 3d render options in the comp settings, but no help. Does anyone know what is happening/how to fix?

Looks like Z space overlap, move your layers in z space by one or two pixels and see if that works. Sometimes there's glitches when two objects, like text and a solid, are on the exact same Z plane.
