Figured this issue out.

Using the additive compositing technique I was able to re-build the ‘Beauty’ pass using C4D renders only.

Multi-Passes in C4D:
Separate Lights – All/Mode(doesn’t matter)/Shaddow Correction checked
Ambient Occlusion
RGBA Image
Global Illumination
Specular
Refraction
Reflection
Shadow

Ordering should look like this in while compositing in AE: (top to bottom)
RGBA – Stencil Alpha
AO – Multiply
Refraction – Add
Reflection – Add
Global Illumination – Add
Lights – Add
Shadow – Multiply
Specular – Normal

In C4D make sure in the render settings you set ‘sparate lights’ to ‘ALL’ and check ‘shadow correction.
This will render out a pass for each light separately and allow for more flexibility in post.

If anyone else has other compositing techniques please feel free to add.

Cheers!

Was this ever resolved by any chance?
