Cinema 4d + Redshift doesn't render correctly

Hey guys,
Just recently used the Cyberpunk Kit and I'm not getting the renders right. I'm in Redshift 3.5.01 and C4D R26. I have simple setup with just a dome light and if you can see from the screenshot below no specs, reflections, refractions and even the emmision is not showing right. Is there anything I have to do to get the renders right?

Bumping this post, running into the same issue on C4D 2023.1 and Redshift 3.5.1.
Yes Maxon has had some growing pains with properly integrating Redshift Materials, but the Redshift Standard Material is the correct material that the kitbash kits should be using imo. Works best in the C4D viewport and in RS renders.
Please please can you get your team to fix this, it's not realistic for me to try to manually convert all the materials included in a kit.

Are there any status updates regarding this?

We're currently working with Maxon to align on how to best address this issue in a way that aligns with some big updates in progress on their product roadmap. We appreciate your continued patience as we work on a solution!

Hey Pedro! Thanks for posting this issue. We've seen this before with some of our creators using C4D + Redshift.
Got some helpful insight from our C4D expert:
"In Reflection, the Fresnel type is set to "Metalness" by default. It's a matter of selecting all the materials, and then go to the Attributes panel (with all materials selected) > Input / Base Properties / and then go to Reflection, Fresnel type, and set it to "IOR (advanced)". Wait for a few seconds for the scene to refresh. That should do the trick."
Let me know if that works for you!

Shelby Goldstein: This fix does not work. The kits just don't work in C4D and Redshift
