I have a feeling it has nothing to do with anything you guys are talking about. I do understand what you’re talking about.
Here’s is another C4D file: https://ufile.io/4rjjt
It should render a grey shiny reflecting sphere. That’s how it worked before (even with physical and Global illumination on).
Now it’s like this in r19:

Btw. Is it possible to edits posts on this website?

Thanks for your response!

That arc is part of the reflection not working. The render you’re showing doesn’t reflect neither – I’m missing the shiny part.
Here is something i made before i had this issue, so you can see what im after (I used softboxes for this).

I am using r11 r13 and r19 all of them gave me the same render output. Example image1. I have used fresnel like this before. This is how it looks when I copy the sphere.

Does it look the same when your render it like this or the example above? To me it almost seems like a system issue when you say its reflecting the texture perfectly.

Thanks for the answers so far!

I have also tried 3 different version of Cinema 4d which is giving me the same problem.

It’s nothing fancy, just a floor and a sphere.

It’s nothing fancy, just a ball and a sphere. The c4d file: https://ufile.io/8yahs
